Yes warm water does run into a trough already. We are putting in a new 50mm supply from the spring as we speak so flow and pressure shouldn’t be an issue soon. What is a realistic temperature to get the pre cooling down to?
My electricity tariff expires next month so I’m looking into ways of cutting the amount of electricity I use. 90% of the electricity I use is cooling the milk and heating the hot water, so I guess that’s where I need to be looking. Currently milk is cooled through an plate cooler(spring water)...
I am just about to fence the grazing blockfor the first time, any tips?
So far my queries are,
Distance from hedge
Height of wire
Thickness of wire
Cheapest suppliers of insulators/wire
Corner posts?
Any other thoughts/experience appreciated!
Definitely worth a check, looks clean from the end but i do have a bit of a suspicion that the surge might not be 100%, parlour engineer tells me it’s fine and it will be in the tank. Dairy engineer tells me tanks are fine and it will be the plant!
Do you mind me asking where the bacto problem was? I’ve got a niggly issue, I cannot get it below 40 and everything has been cleaned inspected, tried different tanks etc. Had milk tested which pointed to tank, scrubbed both tanks etc to no avail.
What width cubicles do people use for kiwi cross cows? 43.6 inches works but I do have a few biggish British Friesians so I’m a bit concerned they won’t fit!😅
Having a chat with an arable neighbour this week about renting a shed for young stock for a couple of months whilst a shed gets finished. 50 heifers, they provide the shed and I do the rest. What’s a fair price?
