Always been told 1st cut is the best cutOur wintered grass always looks a bit yellow and oldish in March. But honestly by early May when we cut it looks good. Most of our silage ground is let to rest from 4th cut around Mid September to 1st cut. Slurry after christmas and fert on in Mid March. Did have sheep for years, however the fields were bare in spring and took ages to grow, and with wet winters were always waterlogged. Our soil structure now is much better, worms galore.

Here is the 1st cut analysis. Cut 8th may. Not your 12me rocket fuel, but does our cows well. And always more milk than 2nd cut somehow, even if cut again in 30 days ish.
