Jesus Christ you’ve got more wires there than they did on Jurassic park. Single strand no good?

Your looking at 2 fences. 2 wires on each, the cow tracks are double wired everywere for walking cows and calves in

Does anyone have or know of one or two jersey cows for sale? Ideally looking for something to be calving June time.

 

[HasthorpeGrange]

So all the other costs have stayed the same ?

I meant the value of lost liters has been covered by the increase in milk value from increase butter fat since turn out

I'll have to check but all 12 av £1555 top was £2k down to £1180, only intended to pick one or two but the Cheshire pressure took over and with a fleck calf to come at £150 and its worth £100 that they are robot trained so they should stand at round £1300 all being well and all putting milk in the tank when we want it.
