[William Mellor]

Dont think they are.

Why are they culling in tb4 zones?

No I meant they are moving badgers from cull zones to areas such as tb4 zones where badgers a presumed clean from tb

Was indeed.

I thought most of the bullers needed a decent feed for a couple months before they could bull.



I did look fo you but I didn't see any "Keep Calm" signs wandering around



They were Jelberts I bought - all Guernsey Xs.

I was keeping calm and bought 11 milkers.

I hate buying cows. And i had breakfast before going as I'm so tight.

Yes.
Popped in yesterday afternoon to see them empty to gauge their "robot readiness "
Arrived tonight. Will let them settle and collar up and milk in the morning.

Was that you in your Newholland uniform ?
I was there from the start . Bid over 1500 on several. came home with nothing. Interestingly there was some big holsteins (no good for my system) that were not overly dear by comparison to the stronger friesian types. Organics ( all looked like they could do with a good worming ) were pricey too.

Went to Holsworthy on Wednesday and the crossbreds were the dearest of the lot anything not carrying much condition were a lot cheaper.

Is often the case i've found when a smaller group follows on from the dispersal.

 

[Sid]

No as i had calves to move off this week and no licence to move on.
Gotta love the complexity of tb rules!
