l really know that, there's some really smart young cows, and pretty certain previous bull firing blanks, still, had their chance, so milk and kill, or this year, milk, dry off, fatten and kill, oceans of grass, for a change !no bloody tickers that's for sure, fertility is in 10.5 week ,culled or maybe this year bull in for 3 week then send down to Wadebridge , fertility here is single figure for 12 years now. Have a plan a stick to it
What percentage did you get incalf in the first 3 weeks? Also, how long is your block?Week 3 of dry off and last week of b/w pregs and I know it's the kiss of doom but this one is one of the picks of my hfrs this year.

Your heifer looks well.
Go on then how many liters?
She look like a BFI'm a mere pretender compared to the proper block calvers on here. Be sub 50%, 45% maybe.
I sacrifice a bit of % for a bit of output.
Think about 90% calved after 9 weeks this year. Which handily takes me to max cows this year.
Smidge over 9k in 290 odd days. 4.4/3.4.
Not just that though, she's in a slightly smaller package...well for me anyway
She look like a BF
I always liked perseus, do you have any penmanship daughters?She'll be a Perseus, if you like her you'll go nuts for my Bloomfield's. They're like battleships
Cluster not fitting properly on close back teats resulting in not milking out properly and then drying itself off? I’ve one like that anywayHad these heifers calve in the autumn and between 1-6 months they go dry on numerous quarters,no mastitis ,cell count low.I had similar issues on my last farm .any ideas??View attachment 967542View attachment 967543H
