[QUOTE="sheepwise, post: 5973678, member: 452"] Agreed but if you are shifting tonnes of grain,lamb,beef or milk off farm then these nutrients have to be replaced from somewhere. Buying in feed on a livestock farm helps with this. My father used to say that his father told him,when he was a boy, that it paid to trough feed the sheep in the spring as it was very evident that doing so led to better pasture growth. I never knew my grandfather and we are probably talking about 100 years ago when modern methods of fertilising land were not available. However, i am a great believer that these old boys knew what they were talking about. [/QUOTE]
