Straight in and milked, no hanging around, first side nearly ready to go before the collecting yard gate shut. No time to brew a fresh batchThat just shows you don’t have enough grass!
although it was a bit touch and go with the last couple of sides as a couple crapped before coming in and that is normally the start of the end
You got your stocking rate all wrong.

What brand of heavy sheeting is best for silage pits? And who best to get prices from. Do you buy one massive sheet 180ft by 45ft or lots? Anyone had luck making a igloo Shape pit for maize?

Personally having used both dont go for 1 big heavy sheets, they're nothing more than horrid in the winter, atleast with several smaller nets you can roll them up and take them down as you use them

Ladies enjoying a new fiend before the rain came.
another beef bull calf, we are running at 2/3 bulls so far and getting close to changing to calves from the dairy bull. Oh if only it levels out to 50/50 with a big glut of heifer dairy calves

Think that this might be the first time you've missed being here! pee'd down all afternoon and have gone through 3 boiler suits and am still soaked as it turns out my waterproofs are in fact not water proof

It would seem 8 months ago 100 was having a love affair with 2 very different bulls! Shes looking good though, considering shes only been dry for 20 days, had twins in the cubicles and is now on her 6th lactation! Hereford heifer and a red friesian bull which I may well keep 
On another note look who's bulling

Dont worry still eating 40kg of dry matter a day! Nothing but the best for my top milker
tbh I think a diet would kill her
