Sure am. Brilliant show, not just for dairy farmers.

No tweets about it from the tff page though, plenty about croptech however!

Only if I get rid of this flu

Have you been sending subliminal messages!

If you think I have not given something topical attention on Twitter always happy to be contacted and pointed in the right direction. Happy to tweet pictures or observations from shows whenever you are at a show too.


aside from AgriScot, I do have a problem reporting things which happen in Scotland in general, because a lot of the newspapers seem to be subscription only, or have a limit on the number of times you may view articles without subscribing, usually 5 articles, and I quickly use up those permissions at the start of a month.

I walked past it (arable farmer ) and thought bloody hell ! As much hydraulics on it as a fancy ploughing match plough !

When you need a 1000 cow herd to even remotely consider a profit, a complicated machine to keep the poor milk sacks walking a few weeks longer is needed I'd say

I didn't get a chance to speak to them - are they intending farmers to buy them or foot trimmers with a trailer? There's a talk on Friday at the London Vet Show re 1 in 4 of the national dairy herd have some form of lameness that needs treating and digital dermatitis has been shown to be an increasing problem in the beef herd.

Super show as per usual. Really going from strength to strength.

Should really have got down earlier to avoid the queues entering.
Good beef demo from Basil Lowman too.

Was that the one comparing a March born calf with a June one and being £300 better off?

 

[Oldmacdonald]

Yeah, wasn't sure on his figures, but interesting to hear about the fertility of the cow as she went through her cycles.

Yes and the tight 6 week bulling window and the benefits
