Abstract
The increased retention of within herd replacements will inevitably result in an increasing proportion of continental breed (mainly Charolais) in the suckler cow herd. Due to the high costs of silage production, winter feeding of suckler cows is expensive and thus cows are generally allowed to mobilise body reserves in winter. The objective of this study was to compare the voluntary intake of grass silage and performance of spring calving Charolais (CH) and Beef x (Hereford and Limousin) Friesian (BF) suckler cows and their progeny during the winter period.
