Reps come in here & cannot work out how we get milk from cows without a TMR feeder .
The internet is not the place to feed cows but from the information available I’d be looking to feed more forage and reduce parlour cake. If they won’t eat it the must be an underlying issue, as many have said you need independent advice.No plenty of forage and good forage! Cows are medium size
Yes we av 30 litres with a grab n bucket on the schafferSame here, averaging a shade over 30litres sold at the moment and not a feeder wagon in sight, just a Loadall, shear grab and big bucket.
like you say KISS
how often does your nutritionist walk round your cows ? whats the first thing he/she does when they arrive on farm ? there is no way anyone can feed cows properly when housed without walking through them and observing them before anything else.Good morning I’m really struggling with my dairy cow intakes, one day they lick the trough clean the next day there’s half of it left. I feel like my nutritionist is only out to sell tons of feed, I have a rep in the yard nearly every week with only just 6 months into my tenancy. They all inform me they can do better and there feed is better and I’m getting sick of them all there like vultures! Am I mad at thinking I should have a go at putting a ration together myself they are on TMR fed to yield in the parlour on auto id and in two groups high and low any help will be gratefully recieved!!
I found it works quite well to say "You must be new......."Just be a grumpy fecker then no one will bother calling in
Cumbria it’s a nightmare with reps
