[QUOTE="Dog Bowl, post: 8224413, member: 4489"] Hmm all food for thought. I can basically see a shortage of grazing on the horizon and feel I will have to buffer feed something to get through that. Its a shame this PRG has just given up in the dry weather this year. It genuinely looks like its been sprayed off. This has led me to think about gaining that forage back later in the season with a brassica crop. I am concerned that this crop may over complicate things for what I want. It may lead to iodine problems? Cows may get over conditioned heading into winter? I would still need to be feeding out in the field, whether that's hay, haylage or straw, to combat the bloat effect... suddenly, I am thinking growing 20ac of this may complicate matters more than it should. Any suckler farmers growing this stuff for end of season grazing? Conversely what other crops could I go for to provide me with that bulk at the end of the grazing season? It looks fairly limited to brassica crops to me. [/QUOTE]
