Just wondering have you all been charged by your vet for the first group meeting?

I dare say that if the issue of antibiotic failures was a big thing then a case would be made by the FSA to have the antibiotics involved banned for use in livestock?

We have been charged more that double that.

 

[jimmer]

Karma for you getting 50% on the small grant scheme

 

[Agrispeed]

We have been charged more that double that.

I think you pay milk sure £65 too, so it possibly includes that?

The vets cost would be influenced on numbers attending so if you can do it with a bigger practise then it could be cheaper too I suppose.

The course was £65. My milk buyer paid that.
Vet time at the meeting was either gratis or included in the £65. I don't remember.
The on farm bit was charged to me. 0.5hr ish.

You get a certificate for your efforts which has been duly stuffed in the RT folder. Ticks another box

Have always used dump bucket but advice is to use seperate claw to, do people just have normal unit and move pusulation line and milk line or use a backet with pulsator on?( used one years ago but always used to be bit hit and miss with pulsator) we always wash out unit befor next cow.

Best practice is probably to milk them at the end?

 

[Martyn]

Can't do that very easy as run with the herd if have any cows coming out, no option to hold back. We are only talking one or two every few months, when I'm calving run fresh calving group separate.

We use one with its own pulsator.

Pulsator gets very wet and stop working. Put a butter tub over it and they last a lot longer
