Technical leaflets: Cut and carry - an alternative way to feed home-grown forages

Cut and carry, sometimes referred to as zero grazing, is a feeding system where fresh grass is cut daily and fed to housed cows throughout the grazing season. Over recent years, many dairy farmers have implemented a cut and carry system to increase the proportion of fresh grass included in the diet and as a management tool for fragmented grazing land, expanding herd sizes and robotic milking systems.
