Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

[Anymulewilldo]

The weanling heifers I turfed out on Saturday aren’t very impressed… they’ve had a month running in and out of the shed. Now on different field with no shed. Have too get used to hiding under trees like normal cows!

 

[Northern territory]

It’s pouring down here, has been all morning so far. If you switch the tractor off you can hear the grass sucking it up

You westerners live in the promised land.

More cover on grazing land

would, if it grew. Having fed the clover, still am feeding it, it will give the grazing grass an extra 12/14 days rest, on top of the 30 ish day rotation, And we have had some decent rain, last night, and this morning, so the grazing, has got a bit of cover now, so might actually do some good.

We haven’t touched anything with a topper. Looks a straggly mess but is growing well underneath. Some have been out with flail topper over last fortnight and killed it all off.

Dad would say, don't go skimming of a dry time better to have a few weeds
skimming was topping done with an old finger bar mower

Flail and a dry time is the worst thing IMHO

100% right. Just done big patch’s of thistles, haven’t topped a whole field this year, can put up with a few bents to make sure there’s something in the bottom.

Voyce Pullin stranding straw sale, what if it was going to pee it down for a week? Seem very old fashioned to me.

You will have to pray it does not...

I’d say prices have eased a bit on previous years. Some of the crops wouldn’t be quite as good though. Looks like fert prices have had an influence on some of it.

I cant see the good Lord frowning on fodder being gathered on a sunday so that animals dont suffer during the winter eating and lying on mould. Grandad always had a saying about the real god fearing types that preached to us quiet keep it to ourselves christians " church on a sunday and rob the first bugger they meet on a monday".

Only thing we dont do on a sunday is date a cheque.

 

[Lincs]

If the good Lord didn’t want us working on a Sunday he wouldn’t have invented the sheep!

 

[Skintagain]

Sunday is usually my busiest day. Young family to help me!

And me, work away on a Monday so everything has to be done on a Sunday.
