Looking for some good dairy wall charts for displaying information such as calving dates, due dry off dates etc in the milking parlour. Any advice?
Thanks.

Bray is good, always did have one and bought a secondhand one last autumn for £100, they are about often in dairy dispersals.

Genus do a basic breeding calendar type chart, ask the AI man

You may laugh but have never seen one of those. Just done a bit of googling and looks good but ain't cheap!!

They arent cheap but will never go wrong, bet your computer cost twice what a bray does and bet that still isnt going in 30 years! The magnets arent cheap either! I'm 30 and swear by mine despite having Interherd and Crystal! I dont let anyone move the magnets bar me and take photos of it if i go away for a few days incase people fiddle!
Some would say i am obsessed.....

Whilst at college a girl on my course thought the bray board in the dairy office looked untidy so reorganised the magnets into neat lines:facepalm:.......

Notice on bottom right corner a pair of tweasers for the tight in magnets.

I bought mine off eBay £50 including a load of magnates. Just sourced my brother in-law one from a farmer I knew had sold up also £50 my neighbour got his in a farm sale also £50ish

I've a Bray calendar (and loads of magnets) on the wall here. Not been used for 4 years as I've gone block calving.
If it's of use to someone then your welcome to it I'd be more than happy with £25 for it

Our bray board became redundant once we found a decent computer programme, have since sold the herd.
I would've thought that their use would be minimal now, what with handheld and pocket devices which can be used anytime anywhere
