What rain have you all had? Only had 18mm here last weekend, nothing much since. Have been speaking to folk who have had over double that. Feels strange to be talking like this!

Think we had half of that last weekend nothing since

Half an inch last weekend, and same again this week between Tuesday, Wednesday and today. Frustrating silage weather.

Grazing ground slowed up badly in the last 4 or 5 days here so I wouldn’t complain to much

Enough, doesn't take much to do me, I'm easy pleased.

Same here. It hasn't made any noticeable difference yet apart from grass looking a bit greener. Silage ground will be cut 5 weeks on Monday, the best of it could cut in a couple of weeks, the worst is very sparse grazing

 

[it's not over]

Anyone any home remedies for mastitis. The choice of tubes from the vet is pathetic. I've 2 being treating for 2 weeks and no cure yet. Dont want them losing quarters.

5 past on Monday. There's been a big change in a lot of my silage this week. Mainly just in the form of stem though. ?Will do any time as it's just getting worse by the day now.

Got showers this week and a brave drop today. Can hear the grass grow now but I’m on the same boat as you Agrarian it’s stem now.

This is the upshot of Red Tractor and their list of banned substances. The good stuff that fixed the problem is not allowed now! Has anyone tried the boluses from AHV? Quite expensive, but if they work........

Having the same problem. Got it tested as strep uberis. Vet says it's on the increase and difficult to treat. Frustrating when you've been tubing a week with no results. Giving the latest case tylan and procapen tubes. Vet also mentioned some stuff you mix??

The only thing that worked here for Strep Uberis is Mamzyn injections, and then not much more than 50% of the time. I think you can theoretically get tubes too but neither is available at our vets at the minute. I'm treating one with Permacyl at the minute, it's supposed to be the same stuff, you have to mix it just before using it.

 

[it's not over]

These are the only choices. Ubrolesan are for complete waste of money. Others a copy of synulox. Average results

 

[Bogeyman]

?. Wasted my money on pack of 10 but will sell you remainder plus applicator and two bottles of thier pain relief drench free If you want to do a trial which AHV won’t know about. ?

Iv been usin boluses past while for mastitis. Ther 40 quid but work nearly every time plus ther is no antibiotics which means no chance of puttin a load of milk down which is why i started usin them after havin to dump full tank of milk

When I used to run out I would squirt 5 ml of p+s or teramycin plus 1 ml of colvasone up into tit.
Quite sure someone on this forum will be a long to give me a bollocking!

stop treating it for a week hand strip out the quarter after the unit comes off and see what happens. Failing that I wouldn’t waste time. If in calf dry off if not cull.

 

[Happy at it]

Is anyone on the spreadable butter with United? First year on it and has put buffterfats to 3.4. Is that normal, and do they rise sharply after the scheme end?
