    I've got a field that the cows have been out wintered on. I'd like to out winter on the field again. So in the meantime if I planted rye would I get a crop worth mowing or am I better sticking to westerwolds or cheap Italian ryegrass blend. TIA James

    Slatts, am I mad!

    I'm thinking about getting a quote for a 15ft by 75ft slatted shed. Just wondering if that is a good size for young stock. One of the main reasons I'm considering slatts is that I'm concerned about future availability of bedding materials. TIA James
