Happy with our progress though still frustrated by the 14 cows above 1 :(
Having an independent scorer has definitely upped my game. I don’t always agree with the scorers interpretation but always act on it
Haven’t culled anything for lameness so far but there may well be a few on the list this autumn if 1 the empty rate is good and 2 I haven’t improved them further.
Recent vets news letter suggested that 100% 0s and 1s is not only possible but given the right protocols probable.
Something to aim at.

O lamness is only possible with pure jerseys they have the best feet of any breed there also the lightest dairy breed so theres less weight to carry.

So we are now
96% 0s and 1s
3.7% 2s (10 cows)
.3 % 3s. 1 cow

none were culled last autumn as the empty rate didn’t allow. So slow but steady progress being maintained.
