[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7616222, member: 86168"] on cake, you get what you pay for, it's only cheaper, because they use cheaper product. Interestingly, we cocked up our cake order, and had to blow 3/4 ton of calf rearer in the bin, the milk went up, opposite to expectation, and the cow cake was duly changed, same spec, same price, dif ingredients. Often quoted, 1kg cake, = 2 litres of milk, not sure l have ever found that to be correct either. The next load in, will be nearly £300/ton, which would be fine, if 1kg, = 2 litres, closer to the 1 litre, maths are very different. We are starting to dry out again, which we didn't expect so soon, first sign, grass starts to run to seed, and quality goes down, so we may have to up cake. At least this year, we should have enough silage ! Pre mowing in front of cows now, quite surprised how well they are clearing it, 1st time we have tried it. But 8 acres lined up for wrapping, is on hold, till we know how much rain, we will get. [/QUOTE]
