[QUOTE="Farmertom1988, post: 7235736, member: 134660"] Can't advise on buying calves i'm afraid as we currently rear all our own off our dairy herd but i would say with 400 acres it would probaly still be a good idea to try and rear everything off homegrown feed. We've tried Alkagrain on wheat for the first time this year and have been quite impressed, using a product sold through Harbro called Maxxomon. We were able to combine nice and early as we didn't have to glysophate and worry about green secondary tillers in the tramlines. It was quite abit of work on the day that we processed the grain granted, but we used there lorry/milling service which does 40 tonnes an hour and is rapid, and is now all safely stored in a silage pit undercover for 12 months. As yet touch wood we haven't had any problems with vermin, and the feed has analysed at 16.1% protein, 13.7 ME and 8.5 PH, and in addition we were able to bale the straw for bedding. We're feeding in a forage based diet but i believe you can feed ad-lib with it too. [/QUOTE]
