To determine the effect grazing barley has on grain yield.

• The ungrazed paddock yielded 1.2t/ha more than the grazed paddock.
•  The grazed paddock was grazed intensively to approximately 1-2 cm in height where only the white stems could be seen, the green foliage had all been removed. It was observed that after sheep were removed from the paddock, the barley crop re-grew rapidly and out competed the radish that was also recovering from the grazing.
• It was also observed in the demonstration that the grazing delayed the maturity of the cereal with the grazed paddock haying off later than the ungrazed paddock.
• The quality of the grain from both treatments has not been tested for quality but it has been observed that the grain from the grazed paddock is a better colour than the ungrazed paddock.
