Are you challening your cows to make more of grazed grass?

摘要

It is a commonly held view that high yielding cows don't perform at grass - as soon as you open the gate you lose control of the diet! Until two years ago Wiltshire producer David Homer would have agreed as he pushed towards the 9000 litres mark withhis TMR fed herd. Following his participation in a new MDC dairy workshop, however, he has completely changed his mind and is now finding that improved grass utilisation can increase rather than depress yields.
