That looks like good feed for your cows Rob. Not too good on grasses, but looks like a good mix of species there. That reminds me, I have to take a couple of books up into the woods to identify a couple of grasses and some flowers.

I'm not too hot on identifying anything be it grass, bird or insect, and even worse at photographing them, but I appreciate them all the same. Here are a few shots from this evening;

I've just looked up the results from last year and they found 56 different species of grasses, sedges and rushes.

Not surprised. Even in the pictures of the cows, not really concentrating on the grasses, I could see several different sorts in the foreground. Couldn't name them, but they looked different. The evening pictures have amazing light. Is that your farm on the hill?

I wish! No, this is rented summer grazing away from the farm, which is substantially more modest than the one pictured.

Looks like good grazing anyway. Good land to be able to rent in summer, although probably very wet or under water most winters.

I wasn't sure about the cocksfoot down there but I had a look this evening and there is the odd bit. More in the Melbourne field, of which I took some pictures tonight but have yet to see how they've turned out...

There is some cocksfoot in that picture, but looking at the flower/seed heads there are several different types in some of the pictures. Not too easy to see in some, but certainly different types in the foreground of some of the pictures.
