Posh? Of course!?

It's alright for you. You only need to check yours every month or two. Mine would be full in the morning at the rate it's been falling here.

Mine maxes out at 50mm. Only ever tip it out on a monday morning. But do record daily

Any one with a weather station care to throw up some figures of rainfall for this month?
All my tanks pretty much full and forecast isn’t looking great.

110mm since the start of the month, and I’m not convinced mine is measuring it all!

Any predictions as to when this weather is going to calm down?

It's February and still feels like winter to me, although according to Lakeland and Dale Farm it ended in December!

Tanker driver tells me milk rising like stink so they don't need to pay bonus for January, good old Mr farmer will give them plenty anyway.

Jeez non rt milk is paying better than rt.can someone explain to me the advantages of rt. Keep it simple like I'm 4 years old so I can understand. In the meantime I'll carry on with the no hoops no loops no courses milking as normal

We had a similar thing on a few heifers years ago, started with blisters which burst then turned slowly into a thick black scab which destroyed the teat, turned out to be a herpes virus and only thing that worked was sovirax for cold sores(£5 for very small tube) but worked very well on the blister phase

Sent the wife to go get me some. She gave me the weans yellow nappy cream. Awful stuff but worked a treat. [emoji1303]

DF non rt milk now 5p less than rt, never found it a big deal tbh. Most of the records and stuff needed for cross compliance anyway, just means you get the medicine book updated every 18 months instead of waiting for the dard man to ring.

Your non rt milk is your best paid litres currently.

Dard don't ask for milking machine report,a bulk tank service report , info sheets on all your chemicals,non-smelly soap and five pages of shite from your vet.
All of the above cost money and Z gets the best price.
