[QUOTE="Whitepeak, post: 7622542, member: 45704"] Pure continentals (Blondes) here, avg cow weight approx 725kg. Ad lib haylage for everything. Later cut stuff is fed first (as that's at the front of the stack), then 2nd cut closer to calving. Used to wean everything at housing but I'm now leaving the majority of the later born calves on, weaning into the new year. Cows still all ran as one group. Incalf heifers are kept as a separate group and get slightly better haylage and stay on that once they calve in Feb/March until turnout. They are looking great and are bulling like mad atm 👌 We offer lifeline buckets after Christmas and before that we usually offer a gp bucket. But this year fed Maxx energy buckets, cows looked fantastic but they didn't half shift them 🙈 [/QUOTE]
