We always Ted behind the mower and put power start addative on it aiming for 30% dm get me around 11.8 and 16% protein. On rolling those purposes built compactor r ready good if silage is coming in fast . Silage analysis r good 2 compare but the cows will tell u if its good or not
Yes Mark, I used to make rubbish third cut for a few years in absolutely perfect condition in August, but I tried Ecosil and it was 74 dmd, and protein 14%. So I use it on all 3 cuts now and I wouldn't make silage without it. That's only my opinion Mark.
Nice one Mark

That sear grab looks hugh what size it
8ft wide, holds about 1 tonne of silage
Why are you feeding palm kernel now if your a spring block great vids
Have been feeding it the last couple of months as we got quiet dry. Once this load is gone that'll be it for this year
Would u ever consider calving quarter of the cows in the autumn prevents a lot of work in the spring and keep the milk flowing
Now ur talking
No for me it would just create more work. It's easy to calve 20 cows a day in spring than only 15 and then have to calve 5 again in autumn.
Interesting way of farming. good job
Not to bad
Do you use Ecosil Mark?
No we don't use any additives
@@MCMilkingIt it's absolutely brilliant I find on mine Mark
@@gerryoconnor8751 I've heard it's the only one to use if using additive

Ya not get diet feeder
No I don't mix any feed and I don't have to feed small amounts like this often enough to justify one
