Feeding more concentrates?!?!?!
Don't speak such filth!
Another pallet of Megalac ordered today and 20T caustic arrived, plenty cows to cull at the £
Same as the last 6 years
Depends if your figures stack up for doing it. Everyone is different. So many variables.

No, we are drying off! When we start calving in August they will get the same as usual. Our milk price will be standard + 13% for seasonality so somewhere well into the 50’s hopefully.
Fed less so far this season, but had big surplus of grass, which have pretty much grazed or made silage out of, probably will increase over next week if growth doesn't catch up.

currently munching our way through second cut at an alarming rate to lengthen the platform and give it time to catch up, we went over it too quickly last time and close to peak milking numbers before starting to dry the autumn block off beginning of august.
Free draining river ground on the platform started burning off last week, 5 days after a damp afternoon, we’ve had a bit of rain since, but ground still rock hard.

edging up on concs, grass is more standing hay, than green, eating into second cut, just to extend the rotation. R//grass headed, clover, herbs and other grasses, still just about growing,

that's some r/clover/ryegrass 2nd cut, on some of our driest ground, thankfully its not all like that, but its not really good anywhere exposed, bit of sheltered ground, its all right, but can't get the cows to that. Elsewhere, by extending the rotation length, we are getting slow growth, herbs don't seem to worry about dry weather.

bit to slow for me
years ago, we had a road hedge, that was the same height, as the field, chap employed then, cut that length, with a scythe, each year, not sure if it was cussedness, or he simply enjoyed doing it, it stopped, when he retired.
