And the best ,the energy in grass is second to none and the protein in grass is easily felt with by the cow ,complete tmr in every mouthful
As I’ve said before why use a tractor 10 times when the cow can do it all herself

Why do you need that ,,grass will be 12 + me and 20+ protein as it is
Not much good when its nigh on under water or shrivelled up because of the heat & no rain for weeks. You’re lucky if you’re in an area that can grow & graze grass all year long.
I assume grass is the only feed any of your stock ever eat?

Ah ha that old chestnut, the more milk we send the more money we make. Sounds so simple!
It is if you go about it correctly, do your maths & know when to stop. Everyone has a different sweet spot in their syatem
Hello, I am a final year BSc (Hons) Agriculture with Animal Science student at Harper Adam’s University. The purpose of my study for my dissertation is to seek information about how Johne’s disease impacts small-scale dairy farms in the UK.
If you are a dairy farmer/farm worker in the UK please could you spare a 5-10 minutes to complete my questionnaire.

3 years ago majority were below 6 then lime was put on so going to do some samples Thursday so should know next week what they are now
That field was 6.1 ph with p & k at 3+
That field was 6.1 ph with p & k at 3+
Targeting 6.5+ pH, read a fair bit that it suits the clover.
Had 80 acres at 5.3, rented, had 4t now over 2 years , at 6.2 now, a bit to go.

Farmers swapped tags on cows with TB with those of healthy animals
Charles, Edward and Henry Hartt took a “cavalier approach” to complying with regulations to help prevent the spread of bovine tuberculosis

What a way to stir the potBlimey, this grazing lark seems pretty complicated & expensive. Tracks everywhere, water pipes & troughs dotted all over the farm. Plus you still need sheds to bring them back in & the other stuff that goes with it. Then theres plate meters etc. Next you’ll say you have silage clamps to feed them when they’re in & to buffer them if things dry out & you run out of grass…
It was a cold, wet miserable day & I fancied some entertainment to brighten the day up. I’ve had a laugh if nothing else. You only need one bite. Its like shooting fish in a barrel…What a way to stir the pot
And increased supply is the best way to lower the price
Filling that one yourself then
The only ones that should be allowed to use that phrase is anyone who hasn’t increased production since they abolished quotas. As for any new entrants to dairy farming since then saying it, well…
Only the one?Filling that one yourself then
