Standing hay maybe but we’re finding they are holding incredibly well on it .not fussed on cutting too much in case we wish we had it if this dry weather holds outQuestion, Saturday paper Grass watch says grass now is m+18, what do cows giving 25/30 litres need meal wise? Does the winter guide of 0.3kg/litre still stand? I have to say any cow giving 18 litres here would be getting 3kg/day but then I wouldn't have perfect grass. Standing hay I think the English call it. Impossible to manage at the moment.
I’m really surprised how they’re milking. Yes there’s seed heads but lovely green sole too. If I followed official guidance,I would mow everything and bale. Scared. North wind last night. Needed coat to bring in cows. Forecast 4 degrees tonight.Standing hay maybe but we’re finding they are holding incredibly well on it .not fussed on cutting too much in case we wish we had it if this dry weather holds out
My cows were in what only could be described as fairly heavy silage and they were eatin it up and milkin well on it. Regrowth would be slower than id like atm which could be a problem down the lineI’m really surprised how they’re milking. Yes there’s seed heads but lovely green sole too.
