What an earth are all these pictures of cows in fields. Did they escape or something
Had the camera out today so some cow pics. Round the yard

Not many pictures, covering the ground plenty quick enough, as growth is slow,
Cut out 90% of the protein from the ration, with. I il effect, milk slightly up, but more importantly for us costs down.
Will have a far better picture of how it's going to pan out when it warms up, and we start cutting fresh grass, as we are still on 1st round, so tidying up winter grass.

Best cow on the left. Size of a British freisian, Depth of body and milk of a holstien
This one had a twisted stomach half way through lactation now mysteriously has a massive lump on her leg
Last row of cows or the dregs as I call them

Here's what she looks like from the side. Swollen front knee so walks like a cat with smartie tubes on legs and 2 broken front quarters
