We're learning how to get the most from our forages

The silage season finally ended here on November 25, with a very late fourth cut of bales. Luckily we managed to find three good days in a row and, as a bonus, managed to ted the grass prior to baling and wrapping. All cows came in by night on October19, and by day on November 2. Cows are milking very well at the moment mainly due to an excellent first cut grass silage. They are currently doing 19 litres at more than 6% fat and 4% protein. (See panel for diet).
