[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 7333143, member: 461"] Haylage fed on a marginally restricted basis, plus straw ad lib in a ring feeder, is an ideal way of feeding suckler cows. And lean cows can be fed separately with Haylage to appetite. In both cases, the straw seems to be an essential supplement to maintain a healthy digestive system. Minerals should normally be unnecessary, but a high magnesium mineral nearer calving will help muscle tone and make for easier calving. There is also anecdotal evidence (someone on here?) that it keeps them quieter and less aggressive after calving. [/QUOTE]
