[QUOTE="frederick, post: 8049664, member: 11063"] I'm not sure you can work on the fact that yesterday's cake makes today's milk. Three weeks would be needed to truly reflect on a diet change. However even if a long term change to 10 in 7 drops milk the change to 13 will have minimal effect because the cows are given the other 6 days to recover. This is all very tempting but as an autumn calver shed has to be scraped twice a day and unfortunately fed twice a day which means the buggers probably ought to be milked as well whilst everything else is going on. Will have to be given more spring summer consideration but cost saving are more difficult with a herdsman that may welcome more free time but might not appreciate a pay cut. [/QUOTE]
