First cut done, slight delay getting the tyres on due to bee swarm above the tyre storage department! Local bee keeper came and boxed them up for a new home somewhere.

Busy AI morning.
Cracking heats by the look of them. Estrotect cards?

Yes. I had a play with a few estrotects last year and really liked them so I've gone 100% that way this year.
I thought I'd be the last person in the country to move away from tail paint but I can't see myself ever going back to painting now.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on doing a roof like that. Surely be a nightmare when they go brittle and a sunny day

Be far too hot when it’s sunny, like keeping cows in a greenhouse. Look a mess when it gets dirty.

Was told anymore than 20% clearsheets was way too much, think we have 15%......but come to think about the same guy did sell me the cow lights.....
Our best (ie coolest & the one the cows would choose) has no roof lights at all

Will they work on housed heifers do you think or will they be to inquisitive with them?
That's a neighbours place. It's supposed to reflect sun so stays cool. He only had cows in a week so haven't caught up with him yet.

Yes, I have friends who do this.
It's really important to get them good and hot before applying them otherwise they will fall off
