    Hi Eric, i have a test site on my place at the moment, we currently have an interesting result, there were three strips that had nitrogen applied last year, along with PK etc based on soil tests, theses strips had most FOO last year, however these 3 strips are now showing the most gilford grass in early growth, very easy to see.

    The test site is in low PBI soil and maybe the strips are more deficient from last years growth

    They have been soiled tested, so we might get a better picture once results are compiled

    cheers Justin

    Hi kate.

    Just double check Justin’s maths! It’s 350g for the week total so if feeding twice its 175g per feed. Or every 2nd 100g etc.

    Hi Kate, i think at this stage, even though your grass has dried off, they would be getting close to enough, You could feed 50grams a day per ewe, feed a couple times a week ie 350grams each time, this will make better use of your dry feed

    If you can fat score your sheep now and then check them again in a mth, you can see how there travelling
