[QUOTE="Cowcorn, post: 7004022, member: 107020"] I had the vet out on Saturday and the price of straw was discussed . I remarked that i would be looking for 20 euro a4+ 4 bale barley or wheat and already the purchasers were resisting. Given that yields of straw will be well back its not like im going to clean up. The vet replied that he never ceases to be amazed by how some farmers skimp on straw in his opinion its the best value for money going . Well bedded calves thrive better the eat it it keeps the rumen right, no navel infections, joint evil etc . Not to mention cows prior to calving a belly full of straw gets everything running right. He completely dismissed waste paper or wood shavings as a poor subisistute . After all €20 buys very little drugs was his parting shot . [/QUOTE]
