How many cubicles have you fitted in a bay?

How many cubicles have you fitted in a bay?

29 inches center to centre. Only issue is meal feeding is too low so if you introduce new calves they are slow to learn to go on their knees. Surprised how quick the calves learn to lie up. Literally hours. Cubicles covered with old mayo mats when I replaced the cow beds

Jeez man they'd all be dead

Not at all. You're only making excuses. No point in half measures with this grazing thing.

Might even get a bonus for it

What has a Trimble 250 got to do with calves clearing hedges?!

NI use to be covered by company in Scotland but I think we are now covered by a guy in the South.
You should find it on google.
I updated mine using the agent in south of England. They put update on usb and posted it. Very useful as I could not get a usb that would work with the unit. Sorry I can't remember names offhand.

just bought a 250 off a guy by the name of Marty McAleer should be fit to update it for you

Just remembered that I had asked local NH dealer, who sell Trimble, about update and the price quoted put me off.

I think the whole thing is goosed, and I'm an optimist! But we're still better off both physically, mentally and probably financially than a whole pile of people out there. Just imagine being involved in the tourism trade.

 

[Dazedandconfused]

I'd heard there is a massive oversupply looming in UK and Ireland over peak, never mind any problems caused by Covid 19. Might be lucky to get over 20ppl!

Does anybody treat the rates on their farm house as an expense when filing their tax returns? My accountant says not but I disagree as it’s also my office/sleeping quarters during calving season. Wonder did others claim it and get away with it.
