Haying and Silaging over!
By Mark Forsyth on Sep 1, 2010 | In General | 1 feedback »
Wow! What a difference from last year. We put up atleast four times as much feed as we did last year. Making right around Three thousand hay and Green feed bales, as well as putting up a thousand tons of silage. This will be the first year since we moved here that we did not have a below average hay crop so was very much needed. I can not say it was all fun though as the haybine was testet heavily. I have never and will probably never spend as much time unplugging as I did this year. It was unreal to see the Swaths barely squishing through the back of the haybine. I think the best dyrying down time we had this year was probably seven days with some hay laying a long time. As many are saying the hay is not testing up to the quality of normal with lack of protien, so will probably look to add some pellets this year of a protien supp for young cattle on the place.
Pictured is our best field this year. Off 75 acres we took around 402 bales weighing about 1450lbs. Giving us around 5.36 blaes/acre
