To examine the suitability of elite commercial winter canola cultivars for hyper-yielding regions and compare performance in a grazed situation.
• The Winter grazed screen trial was grazed on 17 June then allowed to recover for grain yield.
• The grazed trial yielded approximately 0.5 t/ha less than the ungrazed trial, with waterlogged conditions in spring limiting the ability to recover from grazing. Each of the four varieties entered were lower yielding that in the ungrazed trial.
