[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 7935175, member: 1646"] It could do I guess. The answer is very system dependant and contract dependant. I would be looking at whether there were a way to increase the peak slightly at lower cost. If the cost of putting the peak up is the same as the income that is derived from the additional litres, that is your pivot point. For me, I would want to know it was worth my while significantly to justify it. The problem comes where people mask poor grass and forage management by feeding cake. Grazing becomes something cows do as a hobby rather than a living if you know what I mean. One of the negatives with feeding lots of goodies is you can get cows waiting for an hour by the gate and not grazing so you end up having to feed to compensate for the hit. It is another reason why buffer feeding can be a pain. *Edit - I am not speaking as an authority on it, far from it. Just interested to further the discussion. [/QUOTE]
