[QUOTE="Anymulewilldo, post: 7451335, member: 144597"] The older ones were out till 5th Jan on haylage, young ones were inside on haylage. When I put them all together put them on haylage, chopped carrots & 2 kg of grass nuts a day plus minerals in a trough for adlib. Not massive expense on them, had 2 quadrants of straw between 12 in the shed the whole time there were cattle in there. Lots of woodchip though. We used too force them a lot harder but we’ve found if we just get them going nicely and bounce them into a store sale just as they get going well we make just as much money as forcing them. Anything born June onwards gets run around for a second summer, that’s where the older cattle come from. So first winter they get haylage and minerals plus a bit of chopped roots same as their mothers. [/QUOTE]
