[QUOTE="Jonny B88, post: 7665822, member: 10679"] So a couple of weeks ago we weighed our bullocks that have been grazing long grass. I think i let the grass get too stemmy that they were on, I think that this basically ryegrass monoculture is very hard to manage not to go to pure stem. Anyway they averaged 0.7kgs/hd/day. I was disappointed but as said i do think the grass got too hard. Lesson learnt hopefully. Also i took dung samples to the vet. They came back quite high, 450-500epg. A lot of lungworm especially. Surprised a little at this as i was hoping the longer recoverys would have broken the cycle more. However discussing with my vet he reminded me that due to the wet weather early on and now very dry it had been a good year for worms along with no real killing frost over winter. He told me most folk had a need to dose for worms a month to 6 weeks ago so i guess i had a small encouragement there. Perhaps i was too naive to think Rome could be built in a day! [/QUOTE]
