[QUOTE="Farmer Keith, post: 6788645, member: 16808"] In my opinion Carrot is better than stick but it’s an option. I suppose there’s already significant penalties in the spring but the money doesn’t seem to come back somehow. The only other thing that I’d say is having never really had spring calving cows before I’ve been amazed at how easy they are to deal with, no mastitis at calving time, you seem to work with nature rather than against it a lot of the time. I just wonder as farmers generally understand their production costs a lot better than they did 25 years ago and are perhaps looking for a better work/life balance, is spring calving something we’re stuck with and maybe better investing in more stainless steel so we can deal with the flush as opposed to manipulating production profiles.
