I take straw out,put under me arm for 30 to 40 seconds,warm the gun with my hands then get straw ready and keep gun under arm til I'm ready to ai.Apart from sexed semen I gave up the whole water thing years ago.
Big herds MOFF always look good but breakeven milk price can be terrible.Getting long spells of decent weather to make good silage must be a challenge,its hard now to get two dry days in a row never mind a week.
I always thought that a farm should only borrow an amount that if the stock was sold whether it be cows sheep or whatever,it would clear the debt,and the land is your own.As someone else said not taking on big debt has probably held my farm back from expanding.Seeing as i have absolutley no...
Apart from the long hours,on a dairy farm its also the fact that youre tied to twice a day every day.As for hours i reckon in the winter i spend 50 hours a week on routine work milking,feeding,etc before i do any other "work".
