Silage Requirements Assessment

How can you be sure you have sufficient feed to see your cows through to spring turnout? And if you haven’t got enough, what can you do now, to maximise stocks for the winter? There has never been a more pertinent time to calculate your current forage stocks and compare with your expected forward requirements.

The first step is to calculate likely supplies against demand. Use our online Forage Stock Calculator or the new Kingshay App calculator, to work out silage requirements and stocks as well as likely availability of standing crops. Download the Kingshay App today!
