Hi,

Will be well short on fodder this year, one option thought of was to order some of the grassy bales that do be around headlands of local tillage farmers barley fields and wrap these.

Anybody do the same, do they make good feed. Alternative is get extra amount of straw bales and feed meal along with these.

Historically would have been able get enough silage bales off neighbours to make up any shortfalls but wont have such luck this year as they are nearly in same situ as myself!
