[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 7714798, member: 81760"] I'll elaborate on my plans, planning on an early first cut at the end of april, second cut end of may (obviously this is subject to weather as is life!) To feed the milkers and yearling heifers over winter. Then if I have enough good silage I would leave the silage ground until August and cut as a hay crop to feed which would also give the ground a rest from being cut Then I would do a final cut in late September of haulage for the in-calf heifers But as pointed out this is presuming that the weather and grass growth is on my side, which is why I budgeted for 6 cuts, because if I cant make enough top quality silage from 2 cuts then I'll keep cutting every month until the end of september or until I do have enough, as I can quite easily buy in crap from elsewhere! Edit: the first 2 cuts would also be going in a clamp with self propelled [/QUOTE]
