All things Dairy

[mixed breed]

Some of our fields were clearly christened long before my grandfathers time, gorsy moor, ferney corner, marlpit, sandy ridge, and the flaxpools.
Dad always said theres a clue in the name, if your off down the "well meadow" there's a good chance you will get stuck.. and that is still true today ?

There's a beef farm couple of villages away call Cow sh1t canyon by most of the locals and a can't remember it's proper name ?

Shitty dip??

Hard to believe it's getting to the end of july and we have this amount of grass to graze, when to Weymouth yesterday and most places looked greener than a normal year, but some places looking a bit brown along the A37

Anybody dabbling or brave enough to try and price these currently? Only disappointing thing is we probably won’t know what they make with the bidding style

I'd swap you my 90mm for a week's worth of sun, so my silage contractor can get finished and come here ?

Only had 6mm in two weeks here getting pretty dry .Least people's barley wil get done!

£500 head?

That age bracket is always a funny one - they're either stolen given their relative value to baby calves or hellish expensive compared to what an IC heifer would make.

Our rain forecasts keep falling apart when they get here. Ended up with.25 inches last night. Taking us to a grand total of 1 inch since may 25th.

Such is the way of farmin

You still under Tb? You must have been under for quite some time now.

Went clear in time to our late spring heifers. Shut down on an IR becoming a reactor. Of course we cant test until 60 days after her test. Which is late August but realistically September and I would wager the majority would have calved then.
