All things Dairy

Part of the reason I've been delaying on LMS is because i can't use it all year, all my grazing platform is on one water line but none of my dry cow housing or dry cow fields are. Also we are on a buying group cake that offers an insignificant price reduction for making an unmineralised cake. I'm still tempted by it but i would still have to use a TE bolus at dry off and probably feed standard cake through early spring and just use the liquid minerals through summer and autumn when i have no other easy way of getting mins into them.
