As pictured our cows through the day are all standing in a heap at one end of the shed. This usually happens during the daytime between 10am & 6pm. Our robots are in the middle of the shed so rules put them crowding round them.. anyone got any ideas??

Flies again - plus probably the novelty of your new electric pole. They get the benefit of each other's tails and they hope their flies will go and pester their neighbour. Seems crazy to group together on a hot day but they do.

Our black Angus bull always has more flies than the cows. Today we were TB reading and as the group of 52 dries and the bull went into the handling pen I noticed the flies clustering over the bull started to spread out over the cows. Clever chap, he dived into the middle of the group.
