How do you weigh what you feed? I am thinking of getting a plate meter so can measure covers to work out DM intake

Grazer holds an average of 5 1/2 to 6 tonnes when we've weighed a load split between approx 150 cows, DM intakes will vary but I don't profess it to be an exact science

I have a plate meter but don't use it as often as I should, if a fields too long it gets baled
