[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8366246, member: 86168"] returned to aut calving, 3 dry summers, had to buy grub, for the spring calvers, to feed them through the summer, isn't the idea. Aim to calve mid oct, till xmas, cows housed at calving, and pushed for max milk, turn out, expect them to be i/c, and produce milk off grass, with lower cake use. Still room to tighten the block, still have a few feb/march calvers, will either run round, or barren. Labour big issue, there isn't any locally, so hols giving just under 9,000, bf 4.3, and protein 3.5, cake would just top 2 ton, fed more, because of drought. Quality fodder, is the key, with maize, and some own cereals fed. [/QUOTE]
