Was watching farmer where we're at today loading his brand new mixer wagon, being powered with a 10 year old john deere, loaded with a 4 year old JCB tm 110s with his brand new shear grab on the front and i can't help but wonder, does it actually make that much money back?
I'm trying not trying to cause any arguments i'm just genuinely asking? at home we feed in ring feeders and the cows have an outer parlor feeder, takes dad all of 15 mins either end of the day to feed up and that is it done, and he can program his outer parlor feeder to give best milker more cake.
This mixer job he does 4 separate feeds just for milk cows a day, in each mix he puts silage, straw, presumably maize, molasses of some sort and several different types of cake. So what i'm saying is does feeding your cows with all these treats produce so much more milk then dad relatively low input method?
please don't start arguing or shoot me down its only a question
