Johnny McCririck seen here in a great field on the banks of the river Tweed in mid September. The field produced three cuts of silage followed by high quality aftermath grazing for fattening lambs. Typical analysis over the years has been 73 D, DM 38% with protein at an impressive 13.9%. The big bales are triple wrapped to help reduce any wastage.

'We are in our third rotation with Red Tantallon here at Whitmuirhaugh. Last year the red clover content of the mixture kept growing during the long dry spell and after the rain finally arrived, the grass rallied to help produce a tremendous third cut.'
