She got one leg in the pit other leg out behind her and back stuck under the rump rail. Got her up and she walked out after about 20 minutes. I want to sent her to the factory, would there be damage to her meat from her ordeal?

A farm, well managed, will easily grow 6 or 7 tonnes of grass without any N application..maybe more The nitrogen only grows extra grass when conditions are beneficial. What growth rates are guys still applying Nitrogen actually getting? Are you measuring? A good green colour does not automatically equal growth.. The limiting factor is moisture...at this time of the year, any well managed ground not limited by moisture will easily grow 40 or 50 a day without nitrogen...Are you above this? While feed bills may be extreme at the moment, there can't be any benefit in adding to cost by wasting Nitrogen..
