Self Heal and Clover

[M1lbie]

My summer grazing has a lot of self heal and some white clover again this year, last year I sprayed it but it has come back again. Would topping it be a good idea? Or is spraying the only way to go? Our winter grazing is topped regularly and has some clover but only a few bits of self heal. Any suggestions would be most welcome

Neither selfheal nor a bit of white clover would bother me, why do you want to get rid of them?

The white clover doesn’t bother me particularly but the self heal seems to be overtaking the grass at the moment, just feel it needs controlling or else there’ll be no grazing left. Have two natives so don’t need a lot of grass but I don’t want a field full of self heal either.
