[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 7780928, member: 1819"] That will be dependant on various factors What's your stocking rate and what rate do you apply fertiliser at Currently? Increase in cost per ewe/cow isn't always huge, plus less stock can mean higher overheads per animal. Not planning to alter much, but we don't use much on N grass. That said cull cows are going before weaning as I've been feeding them for the past month or more and they are fat, I see no point in using silage and straw to then have to grow more next year with expensive N Most cull ewes were sold with fat lambs over the summer mainly to allow grass to build up grass without using N. Altering stocking rate isn't the plan, but it's certainly not a year for carrying passengers or keeping stock for the sake of it. [/QUOTE]
