[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7535991, member: 63856"] About 50/50 on a drymatter basis eg 6kgDM kale and 6kgDM silage down the throat (allow for wasteage) we used to allocate about 8m² per cow per day (800m² and 2 bales per 100 spring calving cows) on about a 12TDM/ha avg crop, as a rough prior plan to scale from. Mob size; 40 cows will get through a bale a day if you limit their crop intake but 45-50/bale is better. Not too sure what you'd do for a smaller number to limit the waste because they don't really get fussed on baleage after it's been opened more than a day, and the trodden-in stuff is a nightmare after, so you really need a ring or rack around them until they are gone.
