Started them on it day before yesterday. Gave 65 about 1/2 an acre of waist high crop. And an 18acre grass field as a run back, quite a bit of grass as it hasn't had anything on it since August. So I wasn't expecting them to bother with the rape for a few days, never looked at it yesterday as the cows were all on the grass by the road but when I went up this am they have stripped the leaf off it all but haven't made much impact on the stalks.
Should they eat the stalks down? I moved the fence back a yard just to give them a bit more but also wondering how much a day I should be giving them? Just want them to maintain themselves or slightly gain condition as I can slim them down before calving in march/April.
