Totally agree with you about the blocks, last year I had a brainwave to replace expensive hp soya with protein blocks, big mistake! They liked them like lollipops and it cost me nearly £700/t before I finally woke up!
We can’t make hay down here though and only 2-3 summers in the last 20 years have been good enough for hay. In Middle England they would have had 2-3 summers where they couldn’t make hay. They don’t grow crops of grass like we can though Celt with few farmers doing a second cut and fewer doing a third, fourth and I don’t think they’ve ever done fifth. I worked not far from mc115 12-13 years ago so know the area well
Fair point Al, I was just wondering if hay would yield that much mj of energy?
I posted last week about beating my all time highest price of £116 with a new highest price of £124 well that record didn't last long.
50kg - £133
40kg - £117
43kg - £130
36kg - £109.5
