Looking good! How high is the concrete panel at the feed barrierReady for the off. Heifers still happy on the hill though so not as much rush as I'd thought!

I'm suddenly less excited about the heifer
No the calf was deformed and a pita to get out unfortunately, just one of those things but still irritating, think the heifer will be OK thoughDid she calve ok?
From memory it's 2ft with the outside 6inch higher than the inside.Looking good! How high is the concrete panel at the feed barrier
Just starting a new shed and was wondering how much higher the feed side needs to be than the cow side, wondered about 100mmFrom memory it's 2ft with the outside 6inch higher than the inside.
ours is 150mm higher with a 600mm panel with a rounded top.Just starting a new shed and was wondering how much higher the feed side needs to be than the cow side, wondered about 100mm
Our existing barriers are all 600mm rounded but our previous supplier doesn't do panels now, who did you get yours from?ours is 150mm higher with a 600mm panel with a rounded top.
So does panel sit on cow level or feed level ?ours is 150mm higher with a 600mm panel with a rounded top.
100mm here,9” concrete shuttered then a 9” timber above slotted in on the feed side,I find it better to reach over than a thick wall.Just starting a new shed and was wondering how much higher the feed side needs to be than the cow side, wondered about 100mm
Ours work out the same . Panel sits cow level, feed level is 150mm/6inch above. Panel is on inside of stanchuon, steel barrier runs outside of stanchion so about a 6inch offset.So does panel sit on cow level or feed level ?
They are a fantastic group of cows and good to see the many years of excellent breeding and management by the edge family is been suitably rewarded.Just watching the Wimboldsley herd on marteye, what a lovely well managed herd they look, every cow at 12 o'Clock.
Question, if you dry off everything before Christmas,how can she be milking at 20 months?View attachment 998162Despite being in milk for 20 months and condition score 7. My leader cow still doing her job
I have a “house” cow. An empty cow I feel deserves another chance which gets milked once a day through the dry period. Plus I Absolutely hate shop bought milk.Question, if you dry off everything before Christmas,how can she be milking at 20 months?
