Certainly not good Rob, there's a few lads down here with fields that were going for hay but haven't bothered to cut them........ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robl12 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Couple up here put them into haylage rather than hay because of the changable weather. Several bigger farmers locally don't even bother with hay too much hassle just make extra silage and the sheep will be overwintered on grass with neeps and sugarbeet pellets and whole barley ad lib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
