We really need a dislike option on here to @bobk , about an hour away and we have basically had no rain bar 3/4 days and that would be classed as a shower. Had some late born jan calves and fair few feb calves that I thought would really show themselves at suckled calf sales with extra strength and size and muscle, first year of selling suckled calves rather than stores, weaned some even though I thought wrong thing to do,wish id weaned may born things and chucked on add lib cereal for a few weeks, cows running in sheds for feed, good hay but maybe a tmr would get more milk, but actually wouldn't they have dried up, and before I get "good cows that milk scenario" we are talking mostly first cross homebred dairy, our silage ground made in first week in june has just changed from a yellow colour, now stands about 1.5cm high nearly green, those jan/ feb calves will be worth probably 50 quid less than may calves as gone so stale look empty, will be a great buy for someone, guarantee they will be back next year!!
