  • Hello,
    Our cows have come in for winter and in this video we show what we feed them as they can no longer eat the delicious grass underneath them.
    We open the clamp and show you how we do it on our farm.
    Hope you enjoy

    Back in the 80's We had a covered silage clamp, we placed hay bales over the entire clamp, then straw on top again later in the season. The hay, straw, and silage was all used at a very similar rate. Vermin do go into straw, but not hay so there were no rat holes in the sheet.

    Poor Josie, sympathise with you, had head cold sinus issues for 10 day's now it's turned to chest infection
    Unfortunately, with emphysema it's antibiotics and steroids for me
    Hope you're soon feeling tip top
    Take solis in the knowledge that Poppy and dad will keep the channel moving, and you have been promoted to director/camera tech
    I must say you all and especially dad really explain things, which for us non farmers is both enjoyable and educational
    Thank you again for taking time out to produce these videos
    Take care all

    The science behind it and the different techniques of making silage is always fascinating to listen to. I love how the dressed front shows how it was compacted to help create the fermentation process. You know... I bet Phil Harding could give a real good talk on the stratification he sees in it! 🤔

    Do you feed in the parlour or out of parlour feeders? No maize or additional blends.

    What’s the difference between the black cover sheet, on the inside, and the green sheet? Is the weave/density different? Also every farmer in the UK seems to be adamant about green sheets.🤔

    for silage best fermentation the Lactic acid should be 3 times higher than acetic acid & ethanol quantity should be as low as 1% of the dry matter & PH of the silage for excellent anaerobic fermentation should be around 4 # i agree past boy friends & past husbands should inform if any damage occurs to plastic covering sheets ❤️❤️🇵🇰

      Don't have to collect run off. Consistent DM silage (which makes a huge difference).

    why is it called a clamp wondering if you could explain we call it a pile

    • @alistairclement4239
      @alistairclement4239 Місяць тому

      Because, at least traditionally, they have a wall on each side to clamp it.
