Have ryegrass and red clover here on it's 3rd year, I'm thinking of stitching in another bit of red clover after the first cut, would crimson red clover last for a few years or do you know of any other persistent red clover varieties? Great pics BTW, thanks.

But how and ever the cows went up .20% protein from one collection to the next 2 days collection by just being out fulltime. Never seen a jump as quick as that before.

And I'm certainly not proud of that range ha, I'm sure Dwag or any of yous with tmr'd diets would have a heart attack over it, but cows have got on with it, and didn't do too bad condition wise, only issue were some fresh calvers being ramped up to quick in the parlour on nuts, batch feeders only here. More leafy bales needed this year definitely.
