We ran out of cereals before harvest and so were buying grain which was painful.
Hence, when we cut the barley, it was very ripe and 9%, I started to utilise it straight away.
About 10 days after starting on the new crop, we had a fattening bull die from kidney failure. Is this a coincidence or quite likely caused by the fresh barley? We don't only feed barley but it makes about half of the ration. Bulls are add lib. This one was 550 kg.
