thought it was you that said you where in the milk game not vanity cows. That said, that is the panicle example of what gives Holsteins a bad rep.

I see an advantage,
I doubt she does much skipping around....

If it gets the job done it doesn’t matter I’ve a couple old cows look like that yet they can walk to graze and produce doing it and there not at the back like you would expect looks can be very deceiving some smart looking cows can be bloody useles when compared on the points that matter

Nor me, how long until it's not possible to farm due to red tape sh!t made up by idiots with no clue?

 

[Cowmansam]

Never you just will lose a lot of good farmers and the best box tickers will stick it out which is a depressing thought

It’ll be sooner than we all think and until there is a shortage of food it won’t change.

My grandad always said food wont be appreciated until the U-boats are back in the harbour and unfortunately I think he was right

The whole climate change debate is going to put a huge strain on animal agriculture and sadly we aren’t a sector that wins many political votes

The autumn calving bunch from Sussex wouldnt have been out of the way around £1100 av ic to sexed calving at 2 yrs. I had a price of £1000 but didn't end up with any, my eyes round the ring thought they were just a little bit on the narrow side
