No rain here. Just a mad wind. Turns out cows like the wind less than rain!

 

[Spudley]

I opened the cubicles thinking they would like to have a lie down somewhere dry for a change.... They went and stood at the gate shouting to go out so out they went.

I've been down to the field WITH THE BIKE and they wouldn't come in. So I guess they have made their feelings known.

These little ladies are happy to come in though, March born heifer calves.

9⁰c here this morning, horizontal rain and blowing hard.

Going to sort silage and housing for robots cows to stay in tonight as ground conditions are challenging for part of the farm!

I think that the 1st picture hasn't flattered the girl.

 

[In the pit]

Her head doesn’t look right for her body

 

[Cowmansam]

Is a strange looking beast probably working hard look a different animal with some sun on its back

They were miserable as sin yesterday, absolutely chucking it down! Shes a really nice heifer, but I forgot to take a photo of her in the yard before I let them out this morning when she was looking smarter, calved 3 weeks today and I havent trimmed her tail yet as I keep forgetting to pick my clippers up from the sheep which would tidy her up no end!

Heres another heifer to try, a premier daughter who calved in january

How’s about that for an udder on a #grazing rat !!!

 

[Happy hillbily]

My old parlour finally had some new technology new vacuum line and Gea autopuls pulsators and control box
Cows seem haplier, possibly a little quicker milking too.
Going to take a while to get used to the rhythm and of the new pulsators compared to the old single fullwood master pulsator !!!
