We have AId for 5 weeks in total, literally emptying the flask right out, some quinten/Chad/LIC/Dutch/Google/grietman/Joseph, and anything else found in the bottom floating about, (binned the Mr frosty).
Will use all sexed going forward, flask will go dry from next week as not needed until next autumn .

It's worth sticking a copy of that in farm office to remind ourselves!
The guys who have turned out, won't your cows be unsettled when weather changes and back on winter duties, I know ours would Def drop their milk in protest of change.

My litres haven't moved, its the time saved by having them outside (excluding tonight of course
) that's important for me, plus I'll fell better if it doesn't rain for a couple of months over the summer!lazy farmer

A little rain and about 35-40% of ours will sulk for an hour or two.
torrential and they’ll just wait it out inside.
If they hear a bike start anywhere in the valley all hell breaks loose.

True! No movement there either though which surprised me, was expecting litres to go up slightly, fat to drop and protein to increase

What about your solids?
Well, seen as you've asked.....
Milk up
Fat up
Protien up
Just means we are crap at winter feeding

Or there is no actual benefit from a multicut
System other than for diesel suppliers!
Probably self feed holding them back. Could run a wagon, but then would need more diesel

How come yours have gone up and mine haven't then? You'll have been feeding far better silage than me, mine is sh!t I bought from next door, 10.5% me 25% dry matter and 14% protein
Very confused
Ours always go up after a few days out.
It's less than 1 litre, up .15bf and up .18p

Average days in milk? Ability for yours to easily eat more forage than in a self feed situation. They quality of the grass your grazing. Yours look to be grazing stronger covers which will be lower quality.How come yours have gone up and mine haven't then?

Strong covers but still higher energy than the silage? Just looked and dim is 223 so might explain it, I do like for miracles to occur though
