Watching Adrian on I farm wefarm after lunch saw him using a pair of kolpin ratcheting Rhino grips to carry pigtail posts on the front of the quad. Look handy, anyone using them ?
Recommend 3 days glycol to get them goingLate night calving twins out this cow, she’d have went on to hit 60L if it had been a single. Can never seem to get cows going after a set of twins.

In by choice, autumn calving, nothing more soul destroying than a frozen parlour but both ends having roller shutter doors so will be fairly nice in summerAre the walls in by choice or necessity?
Currently full of groundwater, need weather to dry up before resuming that jobhows the lagoon dig going ? concrete should be more freely available now hs2 is being delayed and smart motorways cancelled
If hypothetically one was to be given 5 tanks of slightly out of date human-grade palm oil, would it be any good for feeding to cows/youngstock? Hypothetically...
NoAre you serious? You've spent a fortune on cows and you would risk something cos its cheap!
Why would you feed them palm oil. Would you feed them out of date olive oil.No
I wouldn't risk anything that's why I'm asking, if it's fine to feed I would feed it, if it might be OK I won't feed it
There's nothing wrong with the actual product but I don't know if it's safe/any good for livestock
I'm asking
You’d do well to pour palm oil unless warmed up, even at room temperature you need a spoon to get it out of a jarWhy would you feed them palm oil. Would you feed them out of date olive oil.
I know some fats for increasing butterfat are palm oil based but straight oil may achieve something completely different.
The only slight use I could see for it would be pouring it on drinking troughs to reduce second round bloat risk.
It would potentially knacker rumen function. The oil coats the microbes, and stops them working. Perversely it crashes butterfat s. Pigs might be able to use it. Let all the grazers know you've got it, so they can use it for bloat prevention as Frederick says. I think you can use veg oil in diesel engines, but I shouldn't tell you that, or you'll do something daft along those lines . Are these tanks ibc's?No

So basically it's a load of crap, I'll tell them to keep itIt would potentially knacker rumen function. The oil coats the microbes, and stops them working. Perversely it crashes butterfat s.

Because it might have been 20% protein and 50 me and result in an extra 3 litres per cow for every half a litre fed!Why would you feed them palm oil. Would you feed them out of date olive oil.
