Pretty expensive on a dm basis,
But will help with intakes.

I feed 60+t a month,only downside can be supply issues,better this year than last,good point over gluten is the fact it’s tipped outside so no need for shed space.

 

[jonny72]

Thanks, does it keep OK for a week or so.

Have had 250t in a clamp and fed through the winter OK. Sheet it as silage and it keeps fine. Found it pretty expensive and didn’t perform the same as the old Trafford Gold when it was maize based.

I don’t sheet mine because I use it fast,anymore than a few weeks you want to be sheeting it up.

This all day long. When in surplus they badger you to take it but if short, your forward contract can go hang.
Haulage cost is an issue too depending on postcode as I am not sure they can read a map ........

Would you not be better with whiskey grains ? We feed 8kg brewers grains/head/day but we have good supplies in Manchester and Burton on Trent

Cracking feed Whiskey Grains (Draff). Worked very well with good grass silage & Whole crop wheat However now too dear
Used to think it needed to be same price as milk to be viable - so 30p litre / £30 tonne. Think it is now £50ish
