Lely is similar iirc, I think most of the test dips and acids you pick up in wynnstay/mole valley etc are all in blue cans thoughDe Laval colour code.

What make is your bloat oil and where do you get it from ?We use a great/blue coloured pre dip through winter. In the past year I have found bloat oil (green) and ad blue in our pre dip drums.
Winter arriving again tomorrow and Wednesday, then the drought begins!Viewer discretion advised
Summers here cows first day at grass
Yea they'll be back in tomorrowWinter arriving again tomorrow and Wednesday, then the drought begins!
Hopefully get a chunk of ours out later in the week, average covers 2500.
That's the ideaCan't see the grass for cows!
With the forecast looking good for the next ten days we're out full time now. There's not to many in the milking group yet but numbers are going up quickly.

Have you calved in any Joseph’s yet?
I think you wouldnt be far wrong there, but the number that will still be there in the years to come will hopefully more than pay for the little bit less milk in the first lactation. Having said that, the joseph heifers that have calved so far seem to be flying on so you never know! Will certainly be interesting to see what happens when crossed with jerseysNo I don't think I have yet. I didn't have many this year and I know I sold a couple but I have quite a few to calve next year
They are well grown animals but I suspect the J x BF will be slow to mature and probably won't excel ad heifers

The other barrel is marked 'post'.
Sometimes I wonder......
He is a she, and in fairness she is very good. She just makes us laugh with her 'blondeness' sometimes.just be grateful he checked, plenty wouldn't, or say if they f'd it up.
