if a sheep man came on forum and said he was paying £2/week tack for mid preg ewes it'd be greeted with shock/horror
but fodder beet at £40/t is exactly that

Indeed.
But a £40/45 bale of silage would be similar? If not more?

A local dairy farmer was telling me a friend of his had worked out what round bales had cost him this year. He does 4 cuts a year on some ground rented on as grass keep (seeds at £180/ac!), with the fourth cut giving him 1 round bale/ac. With the cost of fuel, etc, he had worked out that the fourth cut had cost him £75/bale.
Almost makes fodder beet look cheap.

But my previous post still stands.
It's too dear for what we're getting for our end product.

I normally buy a ouupla lorry loads a year but not this...perhaps a trailer load at lambing cos handy for pens
I've over yeared hay and bought some in whilst cheap...also extra straw cos it was bargain...planning to house earlier and make muck
then my beet growing neighbour offered me some arable break grass he'd sown instead of sugar beet ironically...so we'll see
as a former sugar beet grower I sympathise but £40+t is just as unviable to feed as grow
dairy farmers are rule unto themselves but I guess with such mind boggling daily need fo mj you buy first ask questions later
just one 'tincy' problem with my plan though....keeping my lot behind a leccy fence
