    If the plane is doing that quite often, they could be student pilots learning how to recover from an engine stall and recovery

    You could build a good size silage clamp where you a stacking the round bales.

    The fermentation process for wrapped bales is quite gentle and a small amount of sand/dust should have little effect

    There is a Flying School just north of Perth on the way to Coupar Angus. The stall and restart is part of the flight training. You could let them Know. 😊😊

    It's private pilots doing training exercises out of Perth Airport, drop in and speak to the training schools, and they will avoid your farm, plenty of other locations to use.

    Ideally it would be mixed in but others might be able to advise if the cows would top up on straw even though the silage was available if it was put in the passage. I think with your system, restricting the silage would just lead to the weaker cows missing out.
    Depending on the straw/silage it might be possible to get to 50% straw before cutting it back closer to calving with a feed wagon. Something to think about in years to come.

    Surely the net wrap will offer a bit of protection from the sand, not like band, it does cover the bale.

    could if your lucky get the ground turned around first after the combine and you could but some rye grass or a type of fast-growing grass to get some more silage.

    • @JohntyNich
      @JohntyNich 6 месяцев назад

      Not sure it’s the breed rather the feeding they got to get them to sale condition before they bought them that’s causing the issues.
      It would be good if someone stepped forward to showcase what their bulls could achieve who don’t over feed. I might be wrong but I’d love to see it.
