    Syncing heifers

    No it didn't work at all for me. I put estrotects on 15 days after the second jab and then proceeded to AI a very even 5-8 a day for the next three weeks. My vets couldn't really understand or suggest why it hadn't worked but it wasn't something they have come across before anyway. Conception...

    Powered silage clamp rollers making lasagne silage

    That clamp still has top and side sheets. All it saves is lugging a few tyres.

    I had a play on a Kubota L2 yesterday and was really impressed. If buying a machine that has a small engine and hydrostatic drive it feels sensible to chose a manufacturer that specializes in that like Kubota. None of the JD is likely to be genuine JD, just bought in parts painted green.

    I don't know Tom and I'm not defending the guy if everything seen is true but like most of these things I suspect there's another side to the story. My first assumption wouldn't be to believe everything said by a trespassing animal rights activist. There are 30 calves in that group of which...

    I can't remember if it was milk link or when we were with OMSCo when we the tanker driver would just leave out a block of cheddar as big as your leg. That was much better.

    Has anyone ever killed a cow with mag in the vein? When we got hit by the beast from the east in 2018 I had a cow break her leg. All roads were impassable and it would have been a 4 or 5 mile walk through 3 feet of snow to get a gun so I tried to euthanize her with mag. It was a few years ago...

    Scraping out… Robotics, automatic scrapers or tractors?

    We do but it's on the old farm where we keep the heifers. The heifer farm is short narrow cubicle passages and the dairy is big open yards. The bobcat is painfully slow in a big yard.

    Scraping out… Robotics, automatic scrapers or tractors?

    I agree, the MX is the only tractor that we've ever bought new and we got it the week I finished school. I've done most of it's 12k hours and I never thought I'd get rid of it. I still change my mind most days at the moment but I know the sensible thing to do is move it on while it has a...

    Scraping out… Robotics, automatic scrapers or tractors?

    Thanks. I was looking slightly larger at the L2 452 and it's now £34k . The equivalent Kioti is £28. The Kubotas seem to hold their value incredibly well if tidy. Currently scraping with an old MX110 which has become unreliable but should still trade in for a reasonable value.

    Scraping out… Robotics, automatic scrapers or tractors?

    Does anyone run a little Kubota or Kioti hydrostatic as a scraper tractor? I'm looking for something reliable that milking guys and girls rather than tractor types can use.

    Group calf hutches

    No, I bought another 10 jfc ones. I really like the JFC ones, they're sturdy and heavy and I didn't want to risk 20k on a hutch I'd never seen. The calf tel ones are completely sh!te and I'd never buy another. Through FTEF last year 10 X hutches with hurdles cost £18500 and I got £17500...

    Arla

    Where's the milk coming from? Is this encouraging expansion within Arla, recruitment or pulling milk away from another sector? A lot of Arla milk in the West country, including mine, currently goes upto Aylesbury. It feels high risk investing so much in a plant that is producing a product...
