Also retained the number PLI spot on the heifer rankings! Also in at #9 too with Gracie (in-calf to Bankhouse Braveheart and have a daughter by Patriot red)

Looking forward to getting my genomics done on my heifers born this year!

Getting a proper handle on zero grazing is going to be a big learning curve. Probably need to move away from cutting leys to more grazing types. This was only cut 23 days ago. Too fast to keep on top of I think

Yeah think I’d be running the mower thru that and moving on going round ours every 18 days at the minute

Can’t bloody wait! Will be nice to not be paying for concrete or stood in a cherry picker

Robots?
Not intended for but potentially in the future for the buffalo. Robot scraper went in because builders were too unreliable to get a slatted area in on time.

Skip a few paddocks and make some bales

Gets even better!! Sassy back in-calf!!
Been struggling with her massively after getting her off flush and not wanting to settle down, was worried she was too far gone as she didn't come bulling, the other day, very good reason for why!

Embryos in-stock by kings-ransom dynasty from blondin sires ready to implant

If anyone is interested in embryos from her let me know, she's almost guaranteed to make 16th generation EX next time still milking 25 litres a day a day at over 5% fat and 3.9% protein

Feels like a never ending battle at times…thats just with everything going right. Always worth it in the end though

@Jdunn55 I know you take some stick on here at times but your passion for your cows is commendable and when you get results like that it's exciting and very satisfying. A thumbs up from me and keep chasing those dreams and who wouldn't want to own a cow like that

Yeah once they get too far we drop the knives into the wagon and open a clamp.
Hell, we even bought a plate meter

Probably not the easiest site to work on very bleak and not an ounce of flat ground

There's a couple of sites we go to which are worse but it's not a easy place. Nice when the sun is out and you can see down across the lake though
