Scanned today. Seriously sh!t results meaning we have a pile of empty cows. What would other do? Some doing ok in milk not sure if enough to run around
Served through the autumn where there is no other distractions. Walk and chalk serve all the cows we still watch too.Sell the sprayer and every other distraction
Sorry was tongue and cheek, are they heavy cows as worth some coin as culls right nowServed through the autumn where there is no other distractions. Walk and chalk serve all the cows we still watch too.
obvious but necessary question. Your right thats the main thing, try to make sure it doesn't happen againWhat do you think went wrong?
Honestly no clue we’re still going atm. It’s depressing. No rhyme or reason. Good tidy cows just not pd+. Ai company coming up once we finish for a chat.What do you think went wrong?

If it makes you feel any better, we had a very poor scan outcome, no idea why cows are under little pressure and I have confidence in ai firm and me picking, don't beat yourself up, I have a bull to cover again and we moving to late spring calving rather than autumn, fed up with calving against the weather.Honestly no clue we’re still going atm.

We calve April, May and June. First year at it and we are only small but gone well so far, 2 left to calve now, milking 39. Helped one cow who had twins, only had to rearrange feet and use ropes. All calved outside, no milk fever at all. Dry cows block grazed on grass. Transition cows on haylage/hay with mag in water trough. Using bulls for service, we are flying herd but will let you know how it goes, tbh i am a bit nervous as in Devon can dry out around July/August.If it makes you feel any better, we had a very poor scan outcome, no idea why cows are under little pressure and I have confidence in ai firm and me picking, don't beat yourself up, I have a bull to cover again and we moving to late spring calving rather than autumn, fed up with calving against the weather.
