Awesome work! good luck with the sweetcorn, I understand you are running out of time down there! in a normal year up here in the north the commercial sweetcorn growers will harvest till easter, so you should get something out of that lot...i hope!
Regarding eating corn. Theres a reason we see undigested portions floating in the toilet. Better to leave it to the ruminate animals. They have the correct digestive system for it. They can deal with mature or immature plants, because they have the ability to ferment them.
Ewes are looking good 👍Why are you wanting to breed big ewes? Potentially you could winter more ewes at 65kg live weight, more mouths in spring, more efficient production? (Kg of lamb / kg of ewe / ha) Bet the shearers like those 95kg girls 😜
🤣🤣, they don't.....Lambs are most efficient fattened to around 60% of adult weight. We're looking for big lamb weights, and we can feed the ewes well over winter so the bigger ewe suits.
I feed standing Maize to the cows once, ate it alright but the maize stalks were a massive pain in the ass when we tried to cultivate it, stalks you could of made battons out of
@@deepsouthsheepbeef4307 that could be a problem if you need to do something with that paddock and those stalks haven't started to rot, makes cultivation really tough
Sweet corn looks 100% normal should finish up fine with the time frame you have left in your growing season. Good luck and good eating. 🌽
Cheers, will give it a chance then!
Maaaaate Bayeweteeful clovered corn. I reckon sheep will benefit heaps. Waiting patiently for next vid- 👀 when the sheep eat in corn crop
Coming in a day or two 👌, definitely not longer.

Even better is that they can digest the whole plant!
Great video Ben 👌

sorry not a corn afficianado - but the maize with clover looks epic.
Need one of them Kale cutters on your quad. Also how do you get on with eczema down there?
Shhh, no FE here 😅, yet. Have thought of a kale cutter, but need to cut it so low for the 3 wire fence I'm not sure how well it'd work.

I was hoping the Persian clover would come back, but I'm not confident now that I've seen them graze a break out.

Yea, I could imagine.
@@deepsouthsheepbeef4307 little molehills everywhere 😂
Have you got a rough price per ha of planting maze ?
