    Zero grazing

    Long shot. Anyone have a replacement control box for a Bonino AB70? Or Alternatively recommend a good place to get one. I doubt Dave king can give ours a kiss of life but ill send it to him all the same.

    Genus charging by the hour for inseminating cows

    Thanks for your opinion. But i dont agree with any of it. A) im also up at 4am. And i'm Nowhere near done by 3pm. So if they think that's hard. Come do my job. Like me, they do have a choice to do it or not. B) very rare that you work those hrs every day as a tech. They often brag about being...

    Genus charging by the hour for inseminating cows

    I think the problem was the fact that i have done too much running previously and given them an easy ride which they have come a custom to. Im probably the least awkward person in the world, and ill do my best to help anyone. But occasionally, i expect the same in return. It was a one off, which...

    Yeah. I have a sheep flock at the moment but they are all going after this lambing and ill be concentrating more on the dairy herd, and like i said its now my life mission to get rid of all the hangers on in the industry, well, only the ones that make my life a misery for the time being anyway. 😂

    Your right there. Im sick of working for a pittance and all these hangers on piggy backing on us for a wage. The industry is rife of this sort of thing. We have a seg area, but i was told by the rep when we first started using them not to use it, as he couldnt guarantee what time the technician...

    We are a Jersey AYR herd. There's 75 cows in total and we average around 115 services a year. That's what we used last year anyway. we dont live on site. For the last two years we have basically been waiting for them to call and say they are on the way, and whatever we had on the go we just...

    is it acceptable to expect the AI Technician to fetch a single cow into the AI stall themselves, occasionally? I'd say 85% or more of the time we drop tools and fetch all cows for the technician when they arrive. We have to book a call before 10am and then they basically have all day, pretty...

    Tata closing steel plant

    They are a bunch of total loons. £2.6bn drafted towards fighting climate change. Tata switch to electric and take westminster handout to reduce CO2 and suddenly the Teletubbies in Cardiff go ape!! Do as i say not as i do springs to mind!

    Wynnstay

    Pay our bill via DD on strictly 30 day terms. Get on well with the staff on the frontline in our local store. But it seems, as with many large companies these days that there's a lot of "passengers" they seem to have a 'specialist' for everything. And those specialist's usually undermine the...

    Robotic milking

    The V300 is indexed. Feeding trough comes in/out on a ram. Meaning you can set parameters for short, medium and Large cow. Which is a good feature TBF, we also have the stall set to it's widest so bringing a larger cow into it would be no hassle at all. I was hoping to attend that sale. Such a...
