@bigw we bought 6, and there's 7 coming up to BBreck. We watched on the webcam and had someone buying for us. They looked really nice cows, it's a shame for the folk having to sell at the minute though.

Did you get your bull?

Good stuff, they looked decent stock indeed. Na I never bothered in the end I will likely just ai and run the beef bull again I think.

300 cows going to cull from big farm in Pembs another in Carms cutting back to 1800 :scratchhead:

I assume this is a good thing.

Absolutley not 100% none available until I have managed to get down and check them out

On a serious note they would suit you down to the ground. High yielding Holsteins. 3x a day herds. They would melt with me. I would guess there would be some summer Calvers in them

Is that legit? Had been hearing similar things last year, but obviously not, going by the numbers they were at.

Not sure they hit 2900 did they? Is that even possible through a 60 point?

Rough figures suggest that it would take 20 hours a day if no cow went round twice and it was 8 mins per rotation.

I got the wife to pick up some of this for me to try

It does taste a lot less like water than skim but i think I'll be mostly sticking to milk straight from the tank

I only buy BOB milk now. Great to have after the gym for the protein!

I did see there was a savage amount of milk lifted every day about it at one stage last year

Jean's..... really? Plenty other materials are way more comfortable in wet shi*ty weather. The more comfortable you are the more you can focus on the job at hand. Best thing I ever did is burn all my work jeans.

I'm all for getting rid of the jeans, but it's not shorts weather just yet

Funny how certain bulls do different things on different herds, we have a few milking Quentins and there generally awful but then that depends how you like your udders and temperaments on your females, I prefer mine well attached and with a pleasant attitude to be around when working between the legs morning and night!

Do you find they have a temperament issue?
Apparently they have, I find them soo quiet I can hardly get them out of tho parlour

So what about the other four hours? Sounds like he needs 300 more cows
