[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 8170457, member: 81760"] Possibly, right now though I'm really pleased and impressed with my friesians. They've milked fantastically well this year considering how rubbish I am 🤣 I don't want yields in 5 figures really, I would struggle to manage a herd of them and graze, with a few tweaks I can look after cows up to 9000-9500 litres fairly well. But 8000 average is the sweet spot for me and where I want to eventually be. I want them to work hard until the end of april/may (depending on rainfall) and then cake will be cut back and hopefully cruise through he rest of the year. But those first 100 days set up the last 200 which is why I push them then. Anything over 150 dim is currently on 1-2kgs of cake [/QUOTE]
