[QUOTE="DairyNerd, post: 8136313, member: 168926"] Definitely buy a platemeter, if you use it well you will make 500 quid back in no time. You can put cows into the right covers without one but that is only a small part of its use. It gives you so much more information both long and short term that its the best investment you can make in my opinion. At this time of year i find it gives me confidence to take the right amount of grass out of the rotation for silage, which keeps grass quality high and also improves silage quality/quantity. At the shoulders or other pinch points you put the right supplements in at the right time which saves 500 quid in no time. I walk every 5 days at the moment, less when growth slows, probably average once a week through the year. [/QUOTE]
