Straight simple question. Are milkrite milking equipment any good? Are the reliable? The meters, ACR and the electric controller etc. Looking at upgrading our parlour. Their clusters/liners are the best...... in my opinion.

What variety is this?

Wheat definitely has lower bushel weight this year. And forages higher in fibre. So you've hit the nail on the head, lower quality raw materials.

That's because nobody questions Frank Wright's labs!!!! 😲😲 They're always too high on Protein, esp wet Silages. .... Bur that's another thread 😜

Just wondering how many of you have sampled & feeding 2023 maize? Any thoughts? Is it right that's it higher in fibre than usual? Or in true farmer language - cows look well but not pumping the milk out on it.

I Fixed on futures with Muller. Lost 12k/month this time last year. At the time milk price was 26ppl and there was an offer to fix for 30/31ppl for 18 moths. (for about 30% of my milk) at the time it seemed a good deal. little did we know how inflation was going to hit, feed, fert and the milk...

Maybe a little premature - but planning on growing more maize next year, but on marginal land. Heavy land 700+ feet above sea level. What variety works best for this situation? Had massive crop off P7326, but very small cobs. (all plants had double cobbs). This was on more suitable land for maize.

Vet is taking samples next week for bacteriology, but they are suspicious of contagious mastitis (staph???) based on our mastitis and cell counts records over past 18 months. Bulk tank peaked at 290 last month, haven't been under 200 this year. Never been a low cell count herd - always 150 - 200.

Just wanted users thoughts and opinions? Was is a game changer for you, or just a bit of help and reassurance? Looking at installing the system here. We think we have a lot of contagious mastitis/cell count problem. or maybe cluster flush is enough?

Just a question for ADF users - was it a game changer for you? How were the results pre/post adf? Or is it just a "bit of help"? Looking at installing a system. Or is a cluster flush enough? Your thoughts and opinions appreciated.

What additive are people putting on maize Silage? .....or what additive would you never use?😉 Just wondering what you've found success with? Definitely want one that keeps it stable.

what do you all think about this? A bit small?

Probably something like a P7034?

Looks like mine. How long is this off harvest you reckon? It's my 1st time growing maize.

Looking for a company that fabricates stall work. We need a new brisket rail in the parlour. we don't feed, just want a new wall mounted curved brisket rail - as rear is straight. Suggestions would be appreciated. Can't find much on google!

Do you have one? What brand? How does it work for you? Mycoplasma is a pain here - need to sort it out!

DO any of you use re usable gloves to milk? Just like everything else the price of gloves have gone crazy. £20 for a box of nitrile gloves now! what have you used?

What are thew best? I'm happy to pay a premium for long lasting tyres, but what o ultimately need is side walls/wheel rim protection. We always have problems with people catching the rims on cubible heelstone etc. any recemendarions on brands. using Camso atm.

No. Drove one - plenty of power, don't believe that its under powered. It's a loading shovel with extra reach. I had a 536-60 6000 hrs in 4yrs, it was tired thought the 420 would last the pace better. But at £20k more & quite likely to need more fuel & more expensive tyres, I bought another 538-60.

Just feed them an 16/18% nut & youll see them change like you've pushed a button!
