We've been a closed herd for 20years brought some Irish heifers in about 5years ago milk drop a 1000ltrs in three days took 2weeks for the cows to get back to where they were!still don't know what it was but it was defo they were carrying something
Do you know if they have been grazed before, we had a problem in our imports with gut and lung worms in 2016 as 1st lactation, probably no acquired immunity. Some of them grazed here for a few weeks late autumn 2015 (all arrived early Sept as late i/c heifers) but 2016 might have been their first full grazing season.
Yep, and I haven't hit anything yet
She is showing her age, had one a few years back that lived to 23, just got down one day and never got up again, it was when we had the very cold spring in 2013 and was snowing in March and think the personally think the snow and cold finished her off.
Not got a single daughter off her
but still trying so live in hope if anything I owe her the right to keep going

I've been looking to see what the progeny of our best cows are like and most of them are nowhere near as good as their mums.
Don't know what I think about the cow family chat from the pedigree boys!
