It isn't. I was speaking with our sales team last week about orders going out and we're well catered for. Spring blocks are pretty reliable on what they want and when - May comes around every year without fail and we're prepared for it.

Someone has made a big booboo here!

Until a heaps of non customers ring up desperate for semen as they have been let down. Don't compromise on your existing customers!

Yeah

No sign of the freebie here either

The numbers quoted were what was left after allocation but I Agree with the sentiment.

Soo, it seems like LIC are trying to pee off all their old costumers at the moment , had our annual bill for farmwizard today and in the same post a 30 day overdue bill, had all sorts of problems with their billing over the last 2 years and just have had enough, looks like Cogent will be getting all our custom from now on.

@Friesianfan probably could sort you out?

I could.

I could.

Have just forwarded this thread and my concerns onto head office inNZ. I wonder if the silence will be as deafening.

Its surprising what does make it through.

You've no idea who is on the other end of that monitor.

Since we're all sharing our experiences...

Booked my semen last Dec, all well loads of stock in the country.
Phonecall yesterday. One bull I'd ordered not available. Order a new one asap.

It's okay managed to get a similar bull, but never had it so last minute, I mean the semen is due in my flask in the next two weeks! Surely they knew earlier about this bull?

I've also had the same tedium around wrong invoices.

Which bull?

Apparently the semen has made it onto the plane this morning so it's on its way now

Hopefully it won't get stuck in the suez canal.......

 

[Big_D]

Hopefully it won't get stuck in the suez canal.......

If the semen is any good they should be able to deposit it at the edge of the red sea and it will swim it's way up!

If anybody wants some good grazing genetics there are 15 Goonhilly stock bulls to chose from if anyone is interested. Similar breeding to high £sci bulls Seb and Elijah. I’m sure @cattow has some too.

15 in stud is hell of achievement, well done.

Off topic but does anyone know why the Irish bulls don’t rank well on the uk SCI index?

 

[sidjon]

Because the SCI is rubbish, we used BW and EBI as data comes from cows that graze outside
