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.
