Strangely enough we do too.
Yeah trying to but wether it's the right thing to do? I've done it through my own heifers which is why milk has dropped a bit I suppose because I'm carrying more heifers.
Yeah 695kgs not quite that magic 700kgs yet
magic 700kg? Is that a accepted good figure for solids/cow/year regardless of yield?
Cow body weight in milk solids is a common target.
How have you managed that? Younger herd? Better genetics?
+1 for scratch cards, never won any money yet thoI don't think it's one particular thing more of a combination of things . Calving heifers younger has made a massive difference and better genetics has helped but I think this is less easier to prove. I also go nuts with scratch cards I did look at heatime or rms but I'm too tight so bought more scratch cards
What do you use to stick them on with? They always fall off when I have tried
The person in that matbro is lucky to be alive.
Yeah target is 1.1kg of fat and pro to 1 kg of body weight, until we hit the target and I then move it to 1.2kg.
Low cover large area working ok, utilising high covers on dry days which get trodden into the mud otherwise. 3 days/nights in over the snow but milkers out day night other than that. Not putting any mud pics up for ya.How are the spring calvers amongst us coping with this sh1t weather. We are grabbing 3-8 hours grazing everyday, but running out of dry paddocks. The silage stocks are disappearing around the county as well. Is it similar everywhere? Anywhere getting away with it?
