its not the worry of growing enough food just more the cost of not having it when and where you need it.This is the gamble with 6500l autumn Calvers if you don’t keep them going now they’ve got a long dry period ahead of them

Making them milk off

For those who do their own ai, if a cow is bulling (her estrotect was silver this morning and is now orange) now and you try serving her could that make everything inside more slippery than usual? I just tried serving the heifer in question and couldnt grip hold of the cervix for long enough to get the rod in and through, the cervix literally kept falling through my fingers no matter how hard I gripped. I'm hoping I was just a bit quick to try serving her?!

On the plus side served the first 2 cows since my ai course on tuesday and for once am 100% certain they were served correctly! Nice for things to go well for once!

Got to love cows one clean as a whistle the others been rolling in every cos pat she sees.

4 years on the trott now. At what point do you give up banging your head against a wall? To be honest, last year it was 25⁰ and plesent so wasn't to bad having no grass. Having no grass in a coat and wolly hat is whole new level of s1ht

Would irrigating not be cheaper than loads of housing, carting feed one way and sh*t the other?
Or no water available?

Contract farming. I trade out of a bank account in the farm owners name. We each take a monthly payment and then what's left in the account at the end of year is split and paid out in July. Because April is the first month of the new year it's a long time (July 2022) until I see very much of it.

Tank would need to be 16,000 L for us to get both days milking and it’s only 13,000

We try to divide a portion of the profit as we go (quarterly) based on actuals v forecast and then balance at the end of the year. Would that not be possible?

Do Arla have a set seasonality schedule? Or is it market related?
