Does anyone on here do it?
Grown it for the first time in years.
Usually feed 18kg grass, 2-3kg straw and then just some standard dry cow mineral at 0.1kg a head.
Would I simply replace the straw and some of the silage with the wholecrop to make the ration work?
Why do we chop it ? Why can’t I just load trailers with handler run down row push up a heap load trailer tip in pit repeat ? Why bother with the expensive bit ?
