    Planting Daff bulbs in new lawn tomorrow. I was thinking of planting in bunches in the paddock around house.

    Would I be wasting my time as the cows will be grazing there in March. Will they stand a chance?

    On the other hand , we had a white cow and every time she got out, the mothers tulips daffodils and any other pretty flower were cropped, and the 100 head of cabbage is best not mentioned

    Was looking through the fathers books that he had from when he was in college. There around 40yr old. It said that a kg of forage rape is equal to a kg of rolled barley. And that it is a complete feed on its on. They only need silage to stop them eating it too fast. It also said that an animal would need to eat 8lbs of kale to get a pound of rolled barley. Hopefully i will have serious heifers next march off my forage rape. The older generation were no fools anyway :D

    Anyone in BTAP needs to have all of their measures carried out in the coming days. If you choose scanning or 5* ai then you need to have the info filled into ICBF in the coming days in order to qualify under the first round of payments!

    Lads,

    Anyone got or seen a bale splitter similar to the pic being run on a 1 series MF. eg MF 165 ? Would it have the hydraulic capacity? Would the hydraulics be fast enough?

    No pic attached but my neighbour has a McHale splitter on his 165. I haven't seen it working but its always on the tractor in winter.

    Well I'd say you wouldn't want to be in a hurry and my neighbour never is. He's retired so happy enough to potter round all day.
