Doubt it it barely stacks up for milkers

150% it does for me, i regard grass silage as just gut filler.

Been fattening cattle on maize for years. Didn’t put any in this year due to weather turning shyt in autumn and fields a complete mess over winter. Instead grown more barley and doing home and dry, see how we get on.
