    Good oaten straw is supposed to be the best feeding fed it for the last two years.
    I always thought barley would be best.

    wheaten straw is the best , it has to be good quality . Put 3 bales in front of the suckers barley , oaten and wheaten and they devour the wheaten in a day, they left the rest there and never touched them .

    were paying e12 for rounds and 1.50 for small squares. small squares are a lot of work but seriously handy for calving pens and the likes.

    10-12 seems to be about the go of it. The trick is to have a "bad" baler and a low hp tractor driving it.;)
