What’s your cell count run at @Thomas-milmain ? I accidentally put a fresh ecoli case in the tank bactoscan and cell count shot up that day, kept her out and bacto and cell back down, I’m certain it was the ecoli that caused the high bacto
If ecolis have ever gone in the tank I find it does seem to drive the bacto right up but not the cell count that much. Presumably the cow is just chucking out a lot of bacteria

Watch it while milking and see what it does.

Just to continue a great run.

Yesterday had to shoot a ex93 cow that slipped.
I lost 42acres of rented mowing ground weve had for 28 years.
My helper of the last 5 years handed his notice in.
The pump on the tanker blocked up with a cow clog.
And a cow led on a cracking bull calf.

How often do you think about sacking staff?

Today, two went off muckspreading on off lying land ... only to run out of fuel halfway through the afternoon on both machines.
Think there is a shared brain cell

Can’t like that.
Make the thread title very apposite though :(

At the start of the day i had too many cows for this summers calving. By the time the ministry have had a go, i might not have enough.
