What size sheets should I order for a silage pit which is a concrete pad 8m by 16m if we are going to make maize dome on it. Talking secure cover size?

Yes ... currently calving crosses to jersey but have some pure ETs soon
Look just like a greyish jersey calf. Fire them out no bother
We have a contract with Warrendale
Bulls supplied through Genus. Used Arubial and Shikikan in the AI straws. Not sure on the ETs

Slipping is an issue on domes on a pad. I would go for a good overlap and probably use mats rather than tyres on the sides if you have them
Pallets are cheaper
True but if you have old mats lying around, they tend to be grippier
Anyone heard from @Headless chicken recently? Seems to have gone to ground but I am sure he would be extremely pleased to hear that Glanbia have appointed a “Sustainability Manager” to advise us poor saps.
Was supposed to have come here today. Would have been an interesting conversation

Hes busy calving for sure. Think he is using different social media platforms now

For a cost point would maize store ok with clear sheet, black sheet, then round bales on too and mats around the outside? Is it as important as grass to get every once of air out? Am using additive.

Winter seems to have come all of a sudden here, cows were out Sunday night but yesterday morning I had to bring them in at half past ten because they were digging up the field. This time of year is a real drag.

Mrs F hasn't posted on Instagram for a few days. He's even gone and put a roof on the shed

A heap that's well weighted around the edges will make just fine but once you open the clamp and break that seal it's a real job to minimise top waste. I've been making heaps for years and I hate them, I'm really looking forward to opening our new clamp for the first time in a few weeks.
