On-Farm Dispersal Sale of the Annandale Holstein Herd (450 head)
On-Farm Dispersal Sale of the Annandale Holstein Herd (450 head), sale fixtures for Harrison & Hetherington
harrisonandhetherington.co.uk
It says they haven't been TB tested since 2019. Will they have to before the sale?

I like them, if they used fancy holsteins then people who wanted a hardier holstein would be put off from going, by using something a bit more midrange I think they've opened up who might be interested in going

Any advice if the small tooth clippers are suitable for clipping tails in the parlour?
I’m fed up of the cheaper Chinese clippers not lasting so I would rather buy a reputable brand but it looks like all their cordless clippers are fine toothed rather than coarse?

Someone got me a comb with fewer teeth for those clippers. To be honest I only use them for doing numbers. I have pairs of cheap scissors in the pit to do tails now.

I have a set of these and use them for tails. I have the larger combs rather than the fine ones that they seem to come with.

Getting ready fit red tractor as I have this overwhelming feeling of dread thay they'r going to rock up some time soon to do a spot inspection, noticed this door tosay that never gets used, would you replace the sheeting on it?
It hardly ever gets used and the likelihood of a cow getting caught on it is almost impossible as it sits flush against the wall and they don't like using this door anyway, trying to save a few quid but don't want this to be a sticking point with the red tractor gods

Just put a patch on, don’t stress!

I use those clippers, with those blades to do tails. Just a word of warning, keep them well oiled and every time I charge the battery I take the blades off and clean all the hair out of the insides, otherwise the springs go. Good clippers though.

Wont they claim that a cow could catch herself where the patches meet together?
Too late for that I'm afraid
couldn't sleep last night so cleaned my yard trough at 2 in the morning 
on the plus side I just checked the water and crystal clear!
