For fudge sake. There’s more grass there than on some fields I’ve had nothing on since Xmas. #HowTheOtherHalfLive

There’s the secret that field had nothing on it since 1st of November. Grass grows grass. (Not saying you do/did) but unless sheep are part of your core business they have NO beneficial use on a dairy farm
Protien is up to 4.43 this am. Never had it so high.

On both litres?
All joking aside that’s phenomenal. Would you put that down to genetics?

%ages tailed back a bit here this week. Milk gone up a bit to compensate though. It's milk solids that matter, not a %.
Sill only out days at the moment as it's not exactly bouncing back behind them.

Ive bought another new to me springfield stainless steel hot water cylinder, but the control box that was with it was in a dozen or more bits, and was bodged up with duct tape.
Dont think springfield is still in business, and not had much luck looking on the net last night for a replacement box with a clear opening front door.
Does anyone know where i could get something similar, or even the correct name for the box. Thanks

Yes Springfield packed in fell out years ago.

I’ll take some photos on say grazing where fences wouldn’t hold sheep and show you the grass since cattle went off end October.
