[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 3232022, member: 42308"] In theory,barley stubbles should have zero feed value. In practice, there is always some feed value from shed corn either pre-combining or losses from the machine. Feed value would depend on how much your mate 'shovels' over the back of his combine and how much weed growth there is to go with it. The main danger with grazing stubbles would be the amount of whole grains(that haven't chitted) being picked up by the sheep leading to barley poisoning(acidosis). There was a thread on here some time ago about it. [URL]https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/acidosis-off-their-legs.139058/[/URL] [URL='https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/acidosis-off-their-legs.139058/'][/URL] It's obviously too late now, but could you get your mate to put some stubble turnips in for you another year?
