mixing concentrate's with silage

[I thats it]

What's the plan? Dump a bucket full on every tipped trailer.

Yes roughly, 140 acre to cut

Rang 3 feed firms today for 2 8 wheeler loads of wheat feed nuts was quoted £142 £131 £128. Surprised there was such a difference

Kw was 117 for wheatfeed last week

That sounds reasonable, would be even less in an arctic!

We don't have the silage clamp capacity to do this (have always had a separate wet grains clamp), my biggest concern would be encouraging stripeys into the grass silage, unless you can badger proof it.

It's just a n idea to get some concentrate into the cows without having to use a mixer wagon. Might never do it again if we don't like the idea

I'll be doing this again as we clamp, worked well this last winter

 

[O'Reilly]

Me too

Was keen to, but covid19 spiked prices just as I went to buy. So nothing clamped. Shame as with you, worked well

Do we think clamping brewers grains now, then moving them to go under the maize in the autumn would work? Or would it go off the second time?

I would be worried about slippage.

View attachment 799714 Made a seperate grains pit this time have put under silage which works well but it takes some organising timing it with silage and wanted more consistency at feedout

those Brewers grains look very dry. You mixed anything in to soak up the liquor?

No that’s just how they come, from brewery at burton. Done same again this year they do ‘slouch’ a bit as you push them up as in they come towards you. 7 panels long so 105ft holds 250 ton just but that’s the max height you can get them too else they just keep moving towards you if that makes sense

Worth doing this year? feed prices are high, but likely to only get higher come winter?

I have just pitted some grains. Normally mix a load of wheat feed or soya hulls with it do dry it up so we can stack it higher in the pit.
Quoted over £300/t for both for something we won't start feeding till late September so just pitted less straight grains.

But what price will wheat feed on soya hulls be come back end?
