[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7860365, member: 86168"] how long do those old plants, actually live for ? Uncle used to feed his CI herd, mowing grass, he dried out so quickly, it was one way of ensuring grass for them. They coped surprisingly well with it, milked well, and fertility was fine. That policy was forced to alter, as he bred up to holstien, they would not live, and milk, off that grass. That change led to more reseeding, and all year round feeding, then TMR etc. One of the pivots of spr calving, is match the cow, to the feed available. We should do more of that, our few remaining spr calvers, look rather sorry, stood next to a FH cow, yield is different as well. [/QUOTE]
