Liters dropped much?

I turned the feeders down the same day by 2kg a head so yeah they are down. We’ve been having a bit of troubl with cows getting into the center passage and crappy everywhere and few other problems so I hope we will see a bit of an increase when we sort that.

On my rough maths what I’ve cut the cake by they’ve dropped by on the worst day so it should get better as they get going if that makes sense

Looks good.Soil with you looks very dry,are you on sand? So need a shuttered pit?

We excavated 5ft, just above the water table. We looked at all the options and needed to import soil to do a lagoon as we couldn't excavate deep enough to make enough spoil for the walls. Especially given sand can only be formed into 1 in 2.5 gradients. Going to have a precast panel wall.
