[QUOTE="digger64, post: 7652935, member: 16562"] I didnt mean to take extremes I know the first is what we do and the second is what I see go through the ring when I am occasionally there , but the good results quoted on grass whilst certainly possible on good grass /management/top quality silage etc I certainly dont see it on the elms/hls type scheme policys that appear to be the future (but I may have interpreted that wrongly ). Growth rate and avoiding a second winter/feeding period in the key to both though , at the moment the more forage used the older the finished cattle are . To take another extreme would running highland bullocks to 36 months on lots of acres of poor forage with some winter feeding be more carbon friendly to produce the the same amount of meat ? [/QUOTE]
