Cereal options for beef farmers

The crops look well in the field and there is great potential for top quality grain and straw to be saved.

Farmers buying weanlings and store cattle will really need to control costs this winter if profits are to be realised. Silage quality is going to be quiet good and volumes will be excellent on most farms this year so thankfully the level of concentrates fed on most farms to achieve required performance targets will be less than last winter. So reducing volumes and controlling costs will help to increase profits if you plan well for the coming winter.
