I had Australian Lowline Angus and they were brilliant to over winter…..they ate nothing but silage and cost €2 a week each to keep over the winter. The condition on them was unbelievable for such low inputs, you’d have thought I’d given them a bag of meal every day…..they will thrive on nothing. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
