Reading between the lines suggests Mrs willy wears the trousers. Can you put her on from now on as she seems too know what she's talking about. She scares me

More European money. Is it it great to be part of Europe. Only for small dairy farmers below 1m litres

Not really,was sitting up with an auld cow decided to have a few wee bottles. Well it's the only way I can stand living with her.
I'll keep trying.
Funny I always like to put it in when there's a wee bit of juice in it.
You don't want it too dry...it's just not right.
You should try living with her..she's a teacher. Boy she can shout.
Sometimes it's good to be small! Just continuing my theme.
On a serious note Z,did your protein lift when the cows went out?

Must be the only person in the country that wouldn't mind seeing rain. Put slurry late on with a dribble bar and it hasn't rained since, grass doing real well, but the lines of slurry still sitting in the grass. Will end up bringing it into the clamp.... Not good.

The top field is for coming back into the grazing rotation, so has been sown out and received 2500 gal/ac of dirty water. With growth rates and the minimal amount of rain in the forecast, we'll need it
Do you notice the tree in the foreground has no leaves yet? Was shifting the fencer tonight and counted 6 trees with no leaves yet,I think they were ash. Is this some sort of sign of weather to come,good/bad?
Well done on getting grass in . I've still a bay in the silo,gently rotting,but the pessimist in me says I might need it yet!

Ash is last out and first in. Ps no fxxking rain please. Well not to june
Mine are out at night a week now.2.92 protein. Had a notion of next year instead of buying my replacements Willy nilly in various marts,I would maybe chance a batch of those Southern black girls i.e. Fres x Jer. Scared I might end up with a batch of black runts with quality but very little quantity in the milk department. I do like to see the milk meters in double figures!

It's an Ash tree, pretty normal for this time of year around here. We get quite low night time minimums here, we're a couple of miles from the Katesbridge weather station and even had a slight frost this morning

My plan for next winter is to get a ration made up independently and get the mill to price it. No more wheat feed.soya hulls or palm kernal
Quality is OK but you still need volume. It's the money maker
Ps macron wins. Good for Europe

IF your not on a liquid contract then you have a massive opportunity to increase your milk price.
