    Looking at the double posts and timings earlier, posting on here with a phone is very unreliable.

    I took advantage of the fine dry day and turned in all the cows and gave allsure bullets to remainder and youngs pour on as they badly needed it. scratching like crazy 1 or 2 with kind of hairless/mange patches


    done them all bullets and all by myself... the younger cows/ heifers that I have seem to be much better to manoeuvre .. docility seems to be going in the right direction

    Hope you don't mind me hopping on this this thread, but I hardly feel my question worth a thread. I'm just wondering how you might go about getting two cuts for silage bales from a field in one year? Sorry if this is a stupid/inappropriate question.

    Well you would ideally get a few thousand gallons of slurry to the acre, spread in the next 6 weeks hopefully. If ground conditions are right, spread about 90 units of Nitrogen per acre, and cut for silage in mid to late May. Immediately repeat the dose of slurry, and about 75 units of Nitrogen, and again, all things being equal, you will be able to take a second cut in early august.

    Its important that the Nitrogen is all utilized out of the leaf of the grass before cutting. You can gey a Lab. to test for this. Otherwise the silage will not preserve, and all your investment in fert. and baling/wrapping expenses are lost.
    In a normal growing season, about 2 units of nitrogen are used by the grass per day. So 50 days after sowing fert., you should be safe to cut.
