Jerseys are the ones to beat on a oad system, @Manney is giving them a good run for their money thoJersey or jersey cross are what you want
Flekvieh will probaly get fat

Being done alongside a job
Where are you in Cornwall? Pm if prefer, we are OAD near Callington, autumn block.First year oad here. Milking liquorice all sorts. Only breed I wouldn't use would be NR (braut) just don't milk out cleanly. Shame lovely looking beasts.
Monty and fleck crosses doing fine job. Haven't got experience of pure though.

Yes right through.Are you staying OAD through winter this year as well?
Yes right through.
This year we are sub ten cases per 100 cows. Last few years around 15.Do you find OAD cows get more mastitis than TAD cows ?
Much trouble with milk leakage? I would (rightly or wrongly) assume low concentrate use?Yes right through.
Ok in your opinion if you were too milk TAD would the mastitis rates be similar? Btw what yield are you doing thanksThis year we are sub ten cases per 100 cows. Last few years around 15.
What have we done differently? Dunno.
Probably culled more heavily because of drought but that could not explain it all.
Next season we might be over 20 cases just to get the average back to where it usually is.
