A ratchet strap done up nice and tight would stop it assuming you’ve got some upright bars.

No I thought two wooden uprights holding a metal wire. Out the way of cows eating but at back height if she stands in it.

You really need to learn the ways of the jungle tell him to f#@k off and not in a polite way,throw a few c#@ts in his direction for good measure he'll get the message soon enough, if you need a demonstration I or @Beef farmer would be happy to oblige, i have been seen to demonstrate on social media occasionally

Get yourself 2 snarling Jack Russells. Haven't had a rep on the yard for around 23 years.
No bars but could weld some on
Yes seen that over TMR bunks... looks good.
We tip feed in the top with telehandler, could have something with uprights but then the ratchet strap idea could be simpler.

We feed whole milk, to everything. Not pasteurised. Johnes monitored quarterly with no red cows in herd.

What does everyone think about this milk powder? We won’t need any until we start calving in September but should I book some now?

Can someone charge interest on an incorrect invoice (unpaid due to it being wrong)
Now on my fourth invoice from them and still wrong but are trying to charge me £200 of interest (10%) on it
Yes this is the relief milker still
Oh and he's lost another relief milking job since me under similar circumstances to how I was treated

All whole milk here no intention of changing, i'm helping the national milk price by reducing supply
all calves are beef though.
i'd of paid him what you think you owe him as a starting point then the disputed amount would be less. any conversation with him best by email then you've got a record of what's been said. i'd also send him an email stating that the payment is for what you agree you owe him and not a part payment towards his total.

There’s even a thread in cropping discussing the benefits of spraying milk on crops.All whole milk here no intention of changing, i'm helping the national milk price by reducing supply

We fed whole milk, all of it is B milk, but spring only, likely to wean light than normal and if I go tb free it three weeks they'll all be sold ASAP.

He doesn't have a leg to stand on as long as you can still prove he is wrong and actually cheating you. However I would suggest you pay what you regard is fair, if he disagrees with this you will need proof of why it should be more.
You will never be challenged legally because you can prove he was wrong in the first place.
He's a clown, there's no way he'll come after you. Pay him what you think, no more, unless he has evidence that he worked.
Is it going to be cheaper per litre fed than whole milk? If so, buy most of what you need now, there is no sign of anything coming down for a while.

we store and acidify our colostrum, works brilliantly,
and any discarded milk, goes to beef calves, got 2 high cc cows at the moment, their milk goes into a separate dump line, and clusters, keeps the last few beef calves going, when finished, they will have a one way ride.
Haven't bought milk powder for 5 ? years, might be more, got told decent powder was £2,700/t that shocked me. Once this lot are off milk, only odd 1 or 2 till we start in oct. Acidification, is meant to kill johnes after 3 days, debateable, we test whole herd x2 a year, any + milk is discarded.
