[QUOTE="Sid, post: 7941062, member: 574"] 1m²per 100kg live weight Straw usage is around 6kg /head per day Using two hesstons (was 1 krone HD early on before heifers were housed) eod but heifers and dry cows are also bedded within that as well. Some days , like yesterday is less, damp weather they need more. Bringing wet muddy cows in from beet could increase straw use. I get the nutrients part but they are there and with fert costs are not to be forgotten. We mix slurry and fym in the dung store , clean out every 4 weeks and start again. So it's turned into dung store and again when tipped, once in field and then spread. No lumps and even spread. Have N P and K fertiliser [/QUOTE]
