[QUOTE="Midlands Farmer, post: 7332849, member: 106980"] Hi everyone I’m currently feeding my cows 14.5kg good Haylage, 5.5kg straw and minerals for their maintenance diet, I’ll start adding oats and protein as we near calving. My question is has anyone grown wholecrop oats as a complete feed for sucklers? I was thinking that if I left cutting it until it was almost ripe then it would be mainly straw as I don’t won’t to over feed my cows? the issue I’m having is we grow very good grass here as all our fields are short term lays and I have to bulk it out with a lot of straw and it’s a lot of mixer work each day. Does anyone grow a different crop as a complete feed for cows? I know I’ll have to add protein nearer calving but just try to make the job less time consuming! Any help much appreciated... [/QUOTE]
