VOLTO Tedder helps make haylage in catchy conditions

Posted: 27 November 2019

Now semi-retired, Barry doesn’t farm on the same scale as he has before. But he still has about 50ha of mainly grass and looks after five fishing lakes at Killock Farm, Kilkhampton, near Bude where he also rears 110-120 calves he takes to big stores, at about 20 months. “I don’t have any slurry handling facilities here so I make haylage – rather than silage – because it has a higher dry matter. Along with straw bedding, from large square bales, it makes it much easier to handle and manage the muck,” he explains.
