[QUOTE="Poorbuthappy, post: 8207445, member: 441"] I have to confess to not having got that far yet! The grass only system has only been in place since last year's calving. Looking at them now I'd like to think a few of the best will be fit to go before housing (ie by 18 months), but they won't be 400kg carcasses! Experimenting with grass/ forage only tbh before I decide whether to go whole hog and sign up for pfla, or return to supplementing with a little concentrate to finish in 2nd winter. Happy with progress so far, albeit they haven't been on a weighbridge since turnout as they're a long way from home. Will also need some decent rain before long otherwise there won't be any grass to finish them on🙁 [/QUOTE]
