Definitely not, but it's what we have! Herd average is 9000 but they vary from 7 to 14k. Feed to yield with outofparlour feeders.If the cow is grazing does she have to be a 10000l animal to leave the same profit,
Just started AI to bring consistency to the cows, and smaller stature for grazing.
So the interim challenge is to make grazing work best I can with the cows I have.
We've forgotten about grazing really as ryegrass has been so poor, and not a big grazing platform close to the dairy, but reading books like Clifton Park really got me interested in the potential of new species.
