Cheap winter coming your way
When did you clamp 1st cut?
@Crusty has done 3rd.Second cut???
I only just got the mower ready the other day
What grass seed mixture are you planting to produce this silage please @hedger7050?
I'm not doubting the quality of your silage, it looks great. But there is no fibre in it, how's that gonna help with butterfat production that Arla need at the moment?We're cutting every 4.5 weeks here when possible this is first cut harvested on the 13th April

Second cut hasn't been analysed yet and third cut only went in the clamp on Monday.
You get higher forage intakes and feed less straights butter fats will riseI'm not doubting the quality of your silage, it looks great. But there is no fibre in it, how's that gonna help with butterfat production that Arla need at the moment?
We purposefully left our first cut very late this year, to get fibre in it to get our fats up. I cannot see how more frequent cutting is gonna help fat production?
We've found that we need to add shed loads of fibre to v low fibre silage and I would think a % rocket fuel silage would come straight out the back end if not balanced upI'm not doubting the quality of your silage, it looks great.

Weather held us off 2nd cut for a week and quality may have dropped a little but I will be thankful for the fibre, when feeding a mainly silage only diet we need structure to keep the silage inside and help maintain fatsI'm not doubting the quality of your silage, it looks great.

I think that's what he told me anyway! Not too worried at that considering it wasn't A core and I know it wasn't sent straight away because I kept forgetting to do it so it can only be better!
