[QUOTE="hlane1, post: 8361032, member: 91002"] We have 60 acres of AB8. It has taken better for the second year and we have made haylage of it some before the 15th of July, with permission due to the dry summer, and some after the 15th of July. All made excellent haylage and the regrowth was also very good due to the deep rooted nature of the clovers etc. It is now being tidied up by sheep to leave it short for the winter. The clover does get a bit long as the spring warms up, but that gets grazed back hard by pigeons. Topping was costly initially, but that has been outweighed in year two by the excellent fodder @ 14% protein that we feed sucklers on overwinter with no extra hard feed other than the odd molassed mineral bucket, the rest we turn into 20kg bags of haylage for the horsey market. Am looking forward to next years harvest. [/QUOTE]
