    I have four cows around 750 kg it would take around 750-1000 kg of nuts to finish them. They are just coming off grass and calf’s are on them. I would like to fatten them but trade is strong and god knows what’s going to happen with Corona. What would you do.

    Very good comment. Cows areca good trade in the mart now and you could feed them for a few weeks and market could fall. Also factories love screwing farners who only kill every now and then
