Added one for you1. Feed less cake and more grazed grass
2. Not move huge quantities of cows from spring calving to autumn and vice versa
3. Fence the entire farm properly next year the amount of time and money I lost this year from cows either escaping or else being in the wrong field/wrong side of the fence (and therefore messing the rotation up) is insane!
I could actually go on
4. Pay more and therefore be able to access a better relief milker therefore giving me a break once in a while
5. Not serve cows to calve all year round
6. Keep a much better record of cow and youngstock details
7. Keep a much better eye on finances (DO NOT DEVIATE FROM BUSINESS PLAN!!!!)
8. Pay a contractor to do first cut silage
9. Make sure all cows get a long enough dry period
10. Do not buy fancy Holstein cows that need a lorry load of cake to milk.
