    Rearing calves on barrels

    Can I pick the brains of those of you that rear groups of calves on barrels with teats please? We've always fed milk in groups of 10 with teat feeders, but feel we need to give them more volume whilst also speeding it up. I feel that barrels would be the logical way to go. Would 10 calves in a...

    Long distance slurry pumping

    Currently spend quite a bit on pumping:poop::poop::poop::poop::poop:, particularly double pumping up to 3500m. would average out at probably 2000+m of pipe. What would be the best options for single pumping as far as we can? go to bigger pipes? thinking maybe 800-1000m of 6" then about the same...

    MF 7718S front link lock

    As above, is there a tap to lock out the front arms? If there is, it must be very well hidden! Tried bringing the flow down to 0% but that doesn't work. Bit dangerous with the front mower as it is.

    How wide is too wide??

    Evening all, just on with planning for a new clamp. What widths are people using for what number of cows? Currently have 350ish cows, and was wondering could I go to 60 or 80 foot wide? Or is that just being daft? Shear grab into diet feeder job. Obviously 2 narrower pits would be preferable...

    Bl****dy Scab

    Just spotted signs of scab in one of the flocks today. 500 welsh ewes. Most probably from the neighbouring common. How effective is closamectin? I assume it needs a follow up at 7 days. Ewes would be due a fluke dose at scanning in a couple of weeks anyway. I've used dectomac and bimectin in the...

    Amazone zam control

    Good evening, hoping to glean some advice/answers from the esteemed machinery collective. We have an amazone ZAM 3001 control with auto forward speed rate control. It opens up as speed increases, but then sticks at the fastest speed setting, and doesn't shut down as you slow down. Anybody had...
