Forage Focus Field Day – Taking Stock of Homegrown Forage
Please use the above map for an exact farm entrance location.
With kind permission of James Biggar, we will host a farm walk to see how the team at Chapelton will utilise different forages and wintering systems for outwintering suckler cows this coming winter.
We will discuss how the various crops have performed in this challenging year and take stock of the forage availability to see how this compares to the forecasted forage budgets.
As part of the wider discussion around whole farm systems and their sustainability, the different wintering strategies at Chapelton will be compared for cost, labour, and inputs and how these fit within the wider forage rotation at Chapelton.
Please meet at 10.30am at the Grange Farm , Haugh of Urr DG7 3EU. Lunch will be provided at the Laurie Arms so booking is essential.
Please ensure to bring clean footwear and wet weather clothing.
