Some days you would be tempted to sell the whole lot and pay a contractor.

But then you would have time on your hands, and meaby get into mischief!

We mods have pretty much thrown our hats at trying to keep this thread to farming-related 'chat' topics (:rolleyes:), but we reserve the right to split off conversations that might be better served by being in a separate thread of their own.

42. What is 'bellygrass' and what restrictions apply to its use?

'Belly grass' is the lay term used for stomach contents removed from cattle and sheep after slaughter. It is classified as Category 2 material, the same as manure. It can be landspread provided DAFF does not deem the product to pose a risk to animal or human health. It can be spread on any type of land provided that a 21-day grazing restriction is upheld for all animals (60 days in the case of pigs). The slaughter plant should maintain a register of the details of where this product is sent, quantities etc. The farmer who owns the land on which it is spread should also keep records of where, when and quantities spread.
