Carsehall Farms feeding the mediums and the young stock a TMR ration of Silage, Beans, Wholecrop, Crimped Barley and Maize meal...
Redrock TH300 and the 20m3 Paddle Feeder with the Massey Ferguson 5460 2wd bossing her around the yard...
Ration is worked out via the computer for the output of the dairy cattle and then fed into the diet feeder, once updated the feeder then shows the amount required in kg and shows a count down.  
Breakdown of the Rations
Highs get
5 kg barely
6 kg pre mix
7.5 kg indoor pit
7.5 kg whole crop Rye
And 25 kg outdoor pit.
  
That’s why we shear it first to try and make sure there’s a good mix of everything going in. This gives roughly maintenance + 32 litres  for freshly calved animals.


Mediums get 3.5 kg barley
3.5 kg pre mix
7 kg indoor pit
7 kg whole crop rye
30 kg outdoor pit
This gives maintenance + 25 litres.

Help me out?    What does "lit" stand for ?

Nice to see the feed mix being so automated.  Great job on the video.

That should make for an interesting comparison.

Just a thought.  If you're growing crops on the farm it would be fascinating to do a year in the life of the field following the processes that go into a crop.

Nothing wrong with that if the OA4 outperforms the OA3 enough to justify selling it.
