    Pre lambing ewe feeding requirements

    Ask them for a breakdown of their maths to see how they worked it out. A lot depends on what quantity of forage intake has been predicted and ewe body weight. Rationing software doesn’t factor in for body condition score loss either unless you tell it too

    ATV fert Spreader

    We have a C Dax wheel driven spreader and doesn’t go a bad job at low rates but soon stripes it on big doses (we do cutting fields twice to try and prevent it) Helps us get on the land early before lambing when a tractor won’t travel (our farm is very heavy) and after that get a neighbour to...

    FlockWatch

    Been using Herdwatch for a couple of months and think it’s fab so thinking about going onto Flockwatch with a Tru Test stick reader. With Flockwatch can you set up a draft list and upload it to your stick reader, so when reading tags it’s tells you which ones you want out?

    Buying milk calves...

    130g to make a litre, 50% skim powder. Feeding 6l a day. Biggest difference we’ve made recently is knocking calves down from 6 to 4l of milk a day in once go at around 6wks old. Cake consumption flys after that and soon get them weaned. Ad-lib cake from weaning with dry silage/ hay. Give them...

    Cattle B&B

    Neighbour gets less and less cattle this year but still has a good cattle set up and we have loads of silage but not much room. What would the going rate be for the shed space, water (from borehole) and my neighbour to bed them up with his straw and blower (and keep the muck for his arable)? We...

    Footvax

    Having a right carry on with foot rot in our lambs this time since weaning. Started off with scald and went from there. Been through footbath 5 times in 6 weeks. Yows were bad as well for a spell but got on top of them for now. In other folks experience how much difference will footvax make to...
