This week, as part of the Irish Farmers Journal's autumn suckler management series, we take a look at winter feed budgets.

In this video, beef livestock specialist Matthew Halpin and Tullamore farm manager Shaun Diver outline the key steps for measuring your feed stocks this winter.

Calculating the tonnes of fresh weight silage in a pit and analysing silage samples are just some of what is covered.

In the next video, coming soon, Matthew and Shaun take out the white board to explain what is involved in calculating fodder demand in your yard this winter.
