Less than bales.Anybody any idea how much silage deteriorates by if it's in a clamp nearly 2 years
In fairness a lot of the above can be attributed to breed. As a below average farmer with BF I don't foot bath, have some dd but it's dying out. No pre or post dip, dry wipe only. No sawdust just lime in the cubicles. No dry cow ab just sealer. Cc bonus this month. Struggling one man band, nothing really gets done the way I would like but have to prioritize. BF are easy looked after. Bull into cows then pd . Some of us aren't that sophisticated but carry on regardless.Reduction and then total removal of 3rd generation drugs.
Reductions in AB usage. From further reductions in dry cow tubes to using more painrelief instead of drugs in certain instances. Our antimicrobial use is now 6.8 mgkg the national 2020 target for antibiotic usage reduction is 21 mgkg.
Removal of AB use when treating toxic mastitis. ( we may get one every 18months so not upto date on new developments)
Discussions around getting rid of digi( we are now 6 months at least with no cases.) to the point We have currently stopped footbathing all together..
Making the Decision to have an independent person do our mobility scoring. That’s had huge benefits with I have banged on enough about on here.
what may not be apparent is that we do not see the vet regularly. We would have 1 fertility visit a yr 1 Pding session a yr so perhaps I’m not getting “free advice” in the way some of you are.
I could go on but I’m guessing This is all old news to you norden iron guys.

Lost my dog today, Had her 13 years. She started to get hard of hearing and got hit by a car. You don’t realise how much you liked having the dog about until she’s gone.
Every cloud has a silver lining

Do you zero graze all season as in 5 or 6 cuts?See we have had around 4 inches so far this February in the “dry” ards. Zero grazed a bit nearly every day in January there when ground conditions were nice, not so nice now!
