Done a fair bit of that since I posted this, from our hedgelaying. Been busy with the milk vending machine, TB testing, foot trimming, moving ley sheep around, and general jobs. I do enjoy having an hour in the afternoon to do nothing sometimes.
Thanks for the none judgemental replies 😄
Without spending on a bigger cubicle shed, slurry storage and a bigger parlour and clamp there's no way to increase cows, feels a bit of a waste of time when there's nothing to do.
We do our own foot trimming which is a go-to job aswell.
What do...
I work on a family farm, probably not milking enough cows for the amount of staff we've got, but now the winters here It's a struggle to fill the days with work. Usually jobbed up by lunchtime then it's a few hours until pm milking.
Probably start hedgelaying soon but thats barely worth it.
I have first hand experience of this.. Worked on the farm for no pay, no social life and not even in the business partnership let alone any land... He says the farm is his, yet we've all been working to pay a mortgage for 20 years....
Cant just walk away from my mother and brother
Hi
We have a water heater for our milk processing room but we only need it every other day, what's more power efficient, switch it off for the off day, or leave it on?
