Last time RT were here that's what I used, it was covered in blood and calf sh!t and excepted it, ever though it looked like a drunk spider had done most of the writing 🤣
Spoken to next-doors this morning, they lamb couple thousand ewe currently and is having a morning of picking up what was health lambs yesterday dead😕, snow last night means rehousing for us with very little silage
Been and seen Rob today after rest rescued wife's car from Landacre Bridge 🙈 and now have a nearly new quad coming next week sometime, calves broke out this morning and had next-doors help with their gator and I released I do need speed ,as calves just ran circles around the gator.
Ran a Suzuki carrier 4x4 In New Zealand, was great on the flat not sure it'll cope on the hills, jimny in local machinery dealers may go and see it, but mate has one and is rusting badly after two year's with cow muck and was a clean vehicle before he chopped off the back.
I seemed to have killed my 2000 450 honda, looking at 2nd hand diesel mule or 2ndhand 420 honda, just need it for getting cow's and moving fencing around, would travel between our 2 farms once a week( 2 miles away), which I going to be the best longer term or more dairy farme proof
Was in docks and some clover 🙈, plan is to drill forage rape into the stubble for summer crop and then into grass,clover and plantian, was planted mid October which was a little late, but with the mild winter it's grown better than I hoped
Lots of it in there $hit which you can feel while your doing Ai, I know it has oil content but they are getting better at getting all the oil now, so reducing all the time, bit like Sbeet totally different feed then 20 yearsago
We tried to feed pk in parlour and it will drive you mad, but I'll feed 50% maize or Maize gluten with 50% SBeet ,works for use but only feeding up to 5kg/day
I've looked at Tasmania, Argentina, Uruguay, in that order ( 1/4 Spanish and can get by with language) all for dairying, but wife can't live a hour away from her parents 🙈
They also do horse livery ( 40 horses) that their money earner, but I think they do all right with Thier beef, as just purchased another 130 calves this week.
Calf rearer next-door, they buy a lot of sub £25 calves ( which used to be friesian bulls, now Angus) ,they expect high losses the 1st week then they seem to do OK, they reared stuff never tops the market, but they bother welll
Spoken with dad this morning, as he went to market, surprised with the amount of cheap ( less than £15) mostly Angus and not jersey x stuff either quite strong too
Our average calf sale price is high, (top sedgemoor most times) , so I can't see much profit in keeping them, but guess the ones we do keep are the 25% poorer or wrong colours calves so won't have the same calf value
