[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 7869526, member: 81760"] It depends on your facilities, good facilities geared up for block calving means it's easier, you'll still have a higher work load for 4 months of the year (2months at calving and 2 months for serving) but the rest of the tike you'll have a hell of a lot easier time and even have 2 months when the cows are dry where you could be in the position of struggling to find things for staff to do! Vice versa if you have really good facilities but they're geared up for all year round it's a piece of cake too. It's harder to have time off especially if you don't have good employees but you know everyday that you've got cows to go dry, calve and serve etc so there becomes a point you can do it with your eyes closed. The point is good facilities for whichever system = easier and better for yourself and staff (meaning happy staff = happy you) sh!t facilities = hard work, bad for you and staff leading to poor staff retention even if you're paying lots or a decent human being! Poor staff retention = more work for you leading to you being tired, grumpy and hard to work for causing a never ending loop of people not wanting to work for you! [/QUOTE]
