    Jersey cross suckler cows.

    This is an older study, but given the results who would consider using a Jersey cross cow? I saw some on steep North Island hill country many years ago and was really impressed, they were putting Jersey bulls over their Heifers and keeping the calves, steers were finished and Heifers were mated...

    Cow Efficiency

    Are our cows really any better than they used to be? It would appear in the US that cows have simply got 30% bigger producing steers 30% bigger. No real net gain. Yes this is taken from Becktons advertising yet the graph on the left is quite sobering.

    Zolvix no more.

    Just been told today by a local Vet that due to low sales that production of Zolvix has stopped and once current stock has gone that will be it. They've sold all theirs and can't source any more. Where will this place us in the future for worm control?

One is the torch which now turns off automatically when the phone is placed face down, which is the position I most use the torch in. The second is the favourites...

    Transfer from iPhone to Android

At this stage I'll likely go back to the Android platform as I've never really been comfortable with an iPhone. What's the easiest way to transfer data from icloud to an...

    Drunk lambs

    Any one got any ideas what may cause 8 month old lambs to be wobbly in the back end, a bit like they're pee'd. They're grazing a swamp so its quite wet, grazing is mainly Browntop, plantain and lotus. Its 5 weeks since they were drenched, but they're clean and healthy looking, I don't think its...

    RSPB

    I was talking to a lad the other day, he reckoned the RSPB had shot some Golden eagles last year that were nesting near a sea eagle nest. Apparently they'd been scrapping away all the time and they didn't want the Goldies upsetting the Sea Eagles at nesting time. Heres me always thinking the...
