We're looking for a new electricity provider and the best quote has come from Smartest Energy. I've not heard of them before. Does anyone use them? Thoughts? Thanks.

I'm looking for a manual foot trimming crush for our herd of 150 and have fancied an ekochute. I have contacted them in Northern Ireland and there aren't any in use local to us so I thought I'd ask if any of you have one and how you like it. Failing that I'd take any suggestions of an...

A reminder that the Welsh BTB consultation ends on Tuesday. It's quite broad and covers changes to pre- and post- movement testing, mandatory disclosure of a farms TB history (on a public website!), and proposed reduction in compensation payments, among other things.

Hi, I have a maiden heifer we are trying to AI (normally run heifers with a bull). We're using cogent 4m sexed semen. She started standing this morning (no signs at all last night, sniffing and bunting at 5 am, by 10 am tail paint was off). When should I serve her? We'd normally serve am/pm...

We've been having intermittent bactoscan issues and are pretty sure the well water we're using to wash the parlour isn't clean enough despite having a UV filter on it. The place we had the water tested recomended putting hypochlorite into the water through a dosatron but very helpfully didn't...

Apart from Pembrokeshire County and Usk, are there any shows in Wales going ahead this year?

Hi, we're having intermittent bactoscan issues and want to test the water we use to wash the parlour. Any recommendations in Pembrokeshire/Carmarthenshire apart from the ones on the dual carriageway. Thanks.

Due to good success with sexed semen and the decision to downsize slightly, we will have about 20 crossbred heifer calves to sell. They will be born in the next 3 weeks. Sired by Viking red bull Venom or Montbeliarde bull Nirvanavr. We have a grazing herd and cows are milking about 6500...

I have heard "on the grapevine" that ubro yellow is to be discontinued shortly. Just a "heads up" for any who would like to stock up.

I have kiwikit stallion feeders for the calves, and it takes screw in peach teats. I've been having problems with cross suckling and it's been recommended that I use slower teats. Does anyone know of any that will fit?

We kept a crossbred bull last year, a Hereford cross British freisian, and I'm not sure what to put on the calves passports. The first few looked liked Herefords so I put them down as Hereford crosses but we had twins tonight from a jersey X British freisian cow, and they are black and white...

I am about to lose my mind with calves cross suckling. They're in group pens (as per milk buyers requirements) on cafeteria feeders with peach teats (which I leave in the pen 24/7) and I've still got cross suckling. And a calf with mastitis. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

In anticipation of another dry summer I am trying to build up our grass covers. Due to a combination of increased cow numbers and trying to feed a lot less cake we have had just enough grass from turnout till about 2 weeks ago when it's started to get ahead slightly. We are set up for 24 hour...

I've just been down to the vets to order Leptavoid only to find it's out of stock. What other lepto vaccines are people using?
