Cracking looking beasts, i'm looking forward to seeing the calves from our own Br Fr Langley Evolution come November/December.
Quick question to you dairy boys.
Is it possible to out winter british Freisian/Holstein x heifers on kale all winter.
Would they thrive?
Could they do it if jan/feb born in their first winter?
Is kale best?
Have dry land.
Dosent get properly cold here till December in a normal year with the odd week of frost, rarely snow but have alot of rain usually.

they will probably loose or stay at the same weight
unless they are given something dry to keep it in them

Not that I've done it but a few been talking in our disscuson grp about it. They all say same thing.
Put silage bales in field after drilling at set intervals.
Always have a bit of run back ground.
DO NOT make ruts in the field when grazing.

Cows 'n grass

Cows are grazing a very clover heavy ley by day that is being pre-mown partly to reduce bloat risk and partly because its a bit past its best and the little bit of grass that is there has started to head
Washing down this morning I noticed that the collecting yard was just completely full of clove seed so I've changed my grazing plans around so they'll be going on a field with zero clover for the next few days in the hope that the girls will plant a bit where its needed most.
