Going to gamble a cut at the end of the month. There’s a danger it’s going to be lush mushy stuff which isn’t the best for bedded yards but we don’t really have enough right now and I loath buying it in. Will be going in the pit. Had some lovely stuff in the past but I appreciate it was more luck than anything.
The only time when silage has a higher feed value than the grass from which it was made, is silage made from sappy autumn grass- but only so long as it is not over-rolled.
