Wrangler was bred primarily as an awnless forage wheat. Its major advantage is its ability to be
grazed by stock during the growing season. Close monitoring of Wrangler should take place during
spring to ensure that stock are removed immediately when above ground head formation is detected
to allow a high yielding hay or silage crop to be harvested following grazing. Wrangler requires
exposure to cold temperatures or vernalisation in order to produce grain.
