Leaves were very poor on this variety of sugar beet, will be able to pick with armer in a few weeks time but need beet now and fields cleared, have more I will pull with armer in a months time. Oh and the fool of a lad is the one typing on here
we strip graze fodder beet, find it handier then chopping, but it suits us as we leave the cows out by day. a few neighbours use chopper boxes (we used to years ago too) but will only use them on pulled beet. lad i used to hurl with feeds them whole into his feeder wagon. he dosent have knifes in the wagon as its precison cut silage and loads the beet in whole. fodder beet doesnt need to be chopped and it'll mix away well with the silage and straw. any stones will be left behind. the bigger bulk in the fodder beet will make up for the lower sugar. might be an idea if you dont want to chop and wash.0 -

Cheers for all the thanks, she fired her out on 283 days bit better quality calf than Limkiln Bosco KIB heifer calf last year ... i was feeding at the time..she went from eating silage at ring feeder to getting calf out in less than 30mins i never saw anything as quick.. she is not much to look at but she bashes them out and zero trouble putting calves sucking etc:)

A few from the last couple of days, hard to beat the hereford blood for fertility and easy kept cows. We have 10 hereford cows and only 2 left to calf now, only 2 continental cows calved yet and they are needing a lot more feeding than their thick skinned counterparts.
A few yearlings preparing a small field for reseeding.

Great photos. Where are you based? Couldn't even imagine having animals out at the minute. Long, LONG way off yet for us....0 -

Angus and aubracs will go to bull in May, all blondes will be sold, probably in April.Is he a handy tool to have , or just a companion blue???
He's a tool alright,
Poor bastard has about 45 breeds in him so gets
every time he goes in a field, he doesn't know whether to round up cattle, point pheasants or chase rabbits. Still, he's great company and helps to encourage the burglars to go someplace else. If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
