[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 7622649, member: 81760"] Thanks, my milk protein is actually really good (3.7% average) but want something to help butterfat that wont compromise milk yield too much (rolling butterfat is only 4 whereas I'd like to be at 4.2 for the time of the year - b ugh the end of lactation I reckon I'll be around 4.3-4.4) which is my reasoning for the wholecrop, plus it means I can potentially stock the farm a little higher. Cake is high I agree, I'm willing to change it around though and should the cake price be more than normal cut cake back and accept lower yields providing there is enough grass to support them, that's what I've done this year and tbh, yields havent noticeably changed YET! Gone from feeding 8kg average down to 5-6 now and noticed no difference on my litres but they're going through grass quicker which is fine as I have grass coming out of my ears! Just want to be flexible with what ik doing and if I budget for 2500kg of cake and only feed 1500 without compromising litres because grass growth and quality has been brilliant that year then that's a win win situation :) [/QUOTE]
