dc.description.abstract	Sheep offer an alternative to chemical herbicides for weed control in the pasture phase of cropping systems. To improve the effectiveness of grazing sheep for weed control we need to identify legume species with low acceptability because we expect they will have the potential to compete more effectively with weeds. Based on this hypothesis, we tested the acceptability to sheep of six legumes relative to annual ryegrass and wild radish at three stages of maturity.
