Paid a base price for Sainsburys plus if over or under 4% get paid a ppl basis on that. Only use bulls with positive % on fat

Are you not on a liquid pricing schedule then ?

Well done @upnortheast, I’m booked on a bus for Telford in the morning. I’ll be the beef/sheep/arable farmer looking at milking parlour gubbings and looking confused

That looks like a very expensive piece of concrete!

 

[Ducati899]

Prob the most expensive lump of concrete I’ve ever bought but worth every penny

That feed pusher is shamefully dirty.

No data put up that I can remember. I try to look at these things sceptically, however at least one member present used the products and was very complimentary. What he said made a lot of sense and I'd like to investigate it further.

I use the the animal house stabiliser. Happy to talk to you about it.

Any Deangate Quentin breeding on farm?

 

[Rossymons]

Hoping not to compromise too much in yield, 4.5 bf 3.5 pro would be good.View attachment 832180

Looking at that I wouldn't go changing too much. If you can maintain that production on solids and litres and produce it cheaper you're doing really well.

I'd stick with the Holstein X Friesian personally. Use a smaller stature Friesian on your taller holstein and vice versa. I wouldn't introduce a 3rd breed. To me its damage limitation then as the good points of the the first 2 are watered down markedly.

Keep it up, on paper you're doing a stellar job! ?

What you going to use him on your Jerseys ?

No. Neighbour wants him to put on their Montys.

We've already f**ked up by not paying too much attention to the AI flask and managing to inseminate 4 Jerseys with DR semen. It could be a very interesting experiment ...... or not

No problem . I'll take them off your hands. I'm putting DR on my JerseyX anyway so they will fit in fine with mine. You wouldn't want to spoil your pedigree herd with some mongrels.
