As an introduction to this general discussion on the performance of pasture plants in different regions I propose to point out what pedigree strains are supposed to do. Those who follow me will show what they actually do. It remains to be seen what correlation there is between our stories. What these plants are supposed to do and what they actually do will depend very largely on the management they are given, so the function and performance of bred strains must necessarily be considered in relation to pasture management.
