Grass Isn't growing Fast Enough!!!

[@rollingcoal9500]

Hang in there brother! If it was easy everyone would do it 👍

[@philiphall4805]

here in England its so cold and wet our cows are housed at night , grass growth is slow and we are feeding silage in May again for the second year in a row , in my opinion this is normal and warm dry weather in May is a bonus

Good video

[@loadsbutty]

Nice touch naming them after marvel characters! Another enjoyable vid

[@Panchdeburca]

Great video, grass is tight around the country. We grazed our silage ground earlier to lengthen first round so still going ok. Did you see the butterfat pick up when the silage was introduced?

[@MCMilkingIt]

Yes Butterfat back up to 4.36%

[@paddy1758]

We have plenty of grass, cows also on 16kg of concentrate between maize and barley 0.5 kilo of straw have about 10 days of grass a head atm and are on 2kg a day in parlour

Think you شكرا

[@PVAglue-fi4kc]

Probably a better return from meal fed now as cows approach peak production along with getting them back in calf,if grass is tight. Meal looks like its only going to go up in price as the year goes on.

How do you rate the multi shear. Looked like pieces of the inner wrap came away when you were putting out the first bale?

[@MCMilkingIt]

I think it's very good 👍 sometimes the last bit of the plastic on the inside from when the bale is made can be cut off and nothing is holding it

[@jordanhill1780]

Squeaky bum time with the weather in this country its either a feast or a famine. Feed the cows as cheaply as possible to maximise profit not production. 2.2kgs ms excellent production

from schwitzerland :pourquoi tu ne met pas un toit sur ton aire d`affouragement l`ensilage d`herbe ne serait pas mouillé avec la pluie. tu aurais une meilleur ingestion du fourrage,d`ou plus de lait avec de meilleurs taux (graisse-proteine) ca s`appelle de la gestion d`exploitation !!!! une réponse serait bienvenue

[@yoannleroux4861]

L’exploitation est en vêlages groupé de printemps ( février à avril ), les vaches pâturent de février à novembre, elles sont nourris à l’ensilage d’herbe uniquement l’hiver lorsqu’elles sont taries, actuellement elles ont un peu d’ensilage dans la ration du au fait d’une faible pousse de l’herbe (juste 10 jours) peu d’intérêt de couvrir si ce n’est dépenser de l’argent inutilement

[@adamhorgan5872]

You should look into zerograzing rather than feeding silage

[@MCMilkingIt]

I don't have grass to zero graze

[@patrickbuckley7832]

@@MCMilkingIt You would think that should have been obvious to him 😀
