This means war! Finish up with two kick bars, jump lead clip, and a rope around her middle.

I nearly killed our Q bed machine yesterday; a blade fell off the auto scraper and I drove over it and it damaged a hydraulic pipe underneath it.
A Sunday disguised as a Saturday.

Cornwall is a wasteland:.:.. sorry [emoji52]

Won’t they just get in the habit of knowing if they kick and fidget they won’t get milked so they’ll be pigs to milk? Fudged if I’d leave a heifer that played up

Quite possibly but currently it seems to work out.

Didn't think anyone would be trying this in Scotland, let alone on this scale

Wonder what the flood wash was like this weekend. Two nights of -7 and not really got above freezing out the sun. You’d think it would just be yards of ice ?

Must have drunk at least 2 bottles of scotch to have an opinion like his.

About 30 acres of beet lifted so far running at about 34ton per acre price well down this year though

How much is sugar beet? Excuse my ignorance but can you not wash and chop it and feed to the milk cows like fodder beet

This is fodder beet sorry should of been clearer,
I was feeding some but stopped and haven’t seen any reductions in yield or quality and I have oceans of forage so just selling it.

Alamycin /engemycin spray

I've very little faith in blue spray but anything is worth a try

Bandage up with salicylic acid paste

Alamycin 10 injection and terramycin spray, 3 days in a row, don’t buy the cheaper spray alternatives that are “just as good” they aren’t we learnt that the hard way. And chuck the can in a bucket of warm water before hand it makes the spray stick better.


Wrapping can work well too but it can also go against you if someone forgets to take bandage off

 

[Wee Willy]

Spray with Alamycin and then light it. When it’s finished burning,let it cool then spray again. The burning kills bacteria.
