Sooo how long before you will need to pull stock inside to allow sufficient covers for turnout with some colder weather in the longer range forecast?

Off for a walk now. We only have 2/3 days grazing left. We haven’t grazed anything we would normally graze in the first three weeks anyway so not worried about that.

I did a double take too but it looks worse because the floor's not back filled. It's a carbon copy of another parlour milking our type of cows and from memory i think it's 1.9m.
Camera side. If the lean-to is your concern, it was for me too. There should be plenty of room (9m from end of pit) for them to walk straight out to the right of it. If cows are slow, we'll do something with it!

Anyone else grabbing a last bit of silage this week? This is the driest we've been since late September.

l can assure you, some are definitely unhelpful.
The #########that visited us, condemned a silage pit, till we put an effluent tank in, the old one had basically rotted away. Even rung up to check we hadn't put 1st cut in there.
His boss, who came out after we formally complained, was a sensible chap, told matey we were fine, just renew a couple of gutters, job sorted.
Except #############didn't take any notice of that, whatsoever. Just carried on trying to catch us 'out', which he couldn't. He did achieve a degree of infamy, his name was known, by firms selling the various 'legal requirements'
the ######### only came out, following a complaint about the council drains, 18 months of it. If we were causing a problem, that's one thing, we were not, his boss/manager told him we were not, and it took him 18 months to find that we were legal.
I was even polite to him, gave him a cup of coffee, he never got the offer of a 2nd one though.

Ah, ok. There's a fair prevailing wind from that direction. I'd love an open side but not really an option where we are.

Did 180 and I hate doing that many at one time. We have a very stringent procedure and it takes forever.

It's a boumatic but relatively modified/simplified by our engineer. He is excellent and is the main reason for that choice. Liked the cluster though, nice and light.
