Today was the first day since to get in and I duly arrived with my 18.6.12, with the plan of 20th May cut... The thing was between the top of my boot and my knee....pointless to go spreading... Rang those who know and plan now to zero graze, get it cleaned and start again. Cows will start 2nd rotation on Monday, into lush 1000, so this crop may be a good compliment. Heading away for a week and was a little apprehensive about weather etc, but this should now make things comfy, even if the platform ends up with a little excess when we get back.. Other silage fields topped up today, and looking nicely set for a good quality cut around the 20th...not behind other years but only went with 65 units max, but would have gone stronger if we had the chance of fertilizing sooner.

alps wrote: » Yes, but how well, I wouldn't have experience to say. You have to part the grass to see it. If anything like white clover growth pattern, it might not compete against the grass until weather heats up, but I have had no past use of it to know..
alps wrote: » Maybe Mahoney or someone else might know....I hadn't thought of it, but was told it is not like white clover regarding bloat. Better find out though.. Pasture bloat is usually associated with cattle grazing white (ladino) clover or alfalfa, although other plants such as small grains and ryegrass also can cause bloat. Cases have been reported from grazing of red clover, but its risk of causing bloat is much lower than that of white clover.
