we over did the chicory in a ley sown early last sept, it was rather forward, to say the least. Sheep went in early jan, bit to wet really, so it had a bit of a rough time. 2weeks later, chicory shooting back strongly, lambs owner highly delighted with the weight gain.what about winter grazing?

I would also love to see this silage sample just under 13me, especially late season silage. Closest I've ever seen is 12.1, I wasn't sure the tests could read much higherWill see if I can dig it out
I did some very late bales that were extremely wet
They tested 18% P 11.8 Me
But its not rocket sience

Been looking back through the samples we’ve had done. Had a 12.1 from this years first cut & some high 11’s. We’ve had protein levels in the 18 & 19’s. But never both together. Must try harder.I would also love to see this silage sample just under 13me, especially late season silage. Closest I've ever seen is 12.1, I wasn't sure the tests could read much higher
Plantain causes bloat, have had problems with it when it's strong In a paddock, nightmare sometimes when I've grown clover and Plantain as a summer crop.Never had any issues with sheep or cattle, also makes great silage!
You should have the very first TFF Farm Walk , show us what you do there , you seem to prove it works , coming from a farmer some of these on here may start to believelambs have just grazed of a chicory dominant new ley, no bloat, serious weight gain.
and the cows graze a lot of plantain at times, no bloat there either.
