[QUOTE="Henarar, post: 7427250, member: 5961"] We make bale silage from our PP it may not be good enough for dairy cows [though we use to feed ours on it] but most of our suckler cows are to fat and the calves do well on it I think they do just as well in the winter as the summer. We cut it quite early usually mid may onwards, we do it ourselves so it takes a while when we get the weather doing a few fields at a time, I am not bothered with getting vast amounts as long as we average about 7 bales per acre that is good enough for me, sometimes when we start its only doing 5 to the acre. any that gets to old and some of our flower medow type stuff is best made to hay is best made to hay when we used to do a lot of contract bailing we would start here as early as anywhere else and do a few fields for different customers as we went along some of the customers grass would be rye grass and while it looked like there was far more there before it was cut time it came to bailing it there wasn't much difference, the rye grass was much taller but not as thick.
