Cows feeding from a crib used to hold feeding straw or hay. Silage clamp close to yard. Two men cut silage into blocks which are collected by a tractor with a fore end loader and carried to the nearby manger. Silage then spread by two men with pitchforks along the manger whilst cows eat silage. Extra silage unloaded by the manger for weekends and holidays. Silage is loaded on a pallet and then picked up by a buckrake and tractor for further away fields. And loaded directly onto buckrake from fore end loader.
