Arrotas
An annual legume suited for long season growing, Arrotas is a high yielding, self-regenerating species with a deep taproot and moderate drought tolerance. Arrotas can provide high quality green feed for grazing animals late in the season, and also proves effective in producing high quality hay or silage.

Dustin sowed a mixed pasture which contained Flecha tall fescue, Arrowtas arrowleaf clover,Viper Balansa clover, Riverina and Dalkeith subclovers, lucerne and Tonic plantain. There was "green feed all year round. Plantain and lucerne in summer and clovers and Flecha tall fescue in winter". I "always have somewhere to finish lambs. I don't need to go buy grain to finish them."
