    Milkrite cluster exchange service

    Snap, same situation here. Didn’t get on with pattern ones for my delaval shells so I went milkrite exchange. Much nicer to use and stay on the cows a lot better than the delaval ones. Would never go back. I’m on the non vented ones as my milk meters didn’t like the vented ones so make sure you...

    How many collars/peds for heat detection?

    Yep, @Beef farmer is probably right it boils down to being tight but I take them off at pd + and put them back on at dry off. Cows are in the race both them times so it doesn’t make another job really. Only use them for heat anyway. Got 80 collars here for 150. Balance seems to be about right

    It’s amazing how many straws you can fit in the small bottle, trick is getting the kids to agree what flavour they want 🤣

    No good on you, too high here on the black downs to find stuff like that. Big old flint field stones is all we have, just don’t take it for granted :D:cool:(y)

    slurry storage costs

    Try Sean Carr lining. Time will tell but he did a good job on mine. Knew what he was talking about.

    @Wesley might be able to help but it would be 50/50 if the bull makes it across the main road

    Wartime threshing memories

    Best auto footbath

    I’ve a cow care one, can’t fault it. Initially I didn’t like the big square bit on the end but it doesn’t effect cow flow. Bear in mind where you are going to place it, I blame my auto bath for stirring up formalin fumes more so than a standard one it replaced.

    When every farm had a stackyard

    Find stuff like this very interesting. These are the old field names for here. Although now built on Mow Barton must of been our Rick/stack yard.
