[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1200806, member: 9267"] That could be done if you could convince anyone to keep it fuelled with nitrogen ;-) I've been told a couple times that my bank is the only one 'out in the field' at the end of the season; everything is geared up for seasonal calving here so most farmers who have banks only keep them for six weeks, once or twice a year. Doesn't seem like many are sensible like me and keep it on hand for the entire mating in case all the bulls go lame. I'll be glad to see it go back in Jan I must say - it's taking up space in the dairy and I don't have the discipline to *not* mate a cycling cow seventeen or eighteen weeks after the start of mating. It's like that with calf feed too - I now buy everything I require in July and store it in a shipping container because I know from past experience that I can't get a 20% grower feed of any type in late November and won't even be able to get 14% in December, as the mills stop making it as soon as demand falls off.
