Who's looking forward to milking today?

[jondear]

As I follow the cows in its as hot as the sun .Might have to start up the fan !

A huge + for robots. I used to hate milking on a hot August afternoon.

 

[bigw]

I'm about to start, its dull and damp so it wont make much odds here. I don't enjoy PM milkings much.

What you need is no walls on a day like this

Who needs a sauna with weather like this

I'm looking forward to milking time... Weekend off

 

[Tarw Coch]

Hasn't been too bad here, a lot better than I expected, hardly broke a sweat and didn't have the fans on.

I still can't quite believe that you've tainted all that beauty with black and white

She's a gurnsey X ? Pobably Swedish red. She's a truly awful cow, 3/4 and by far the slowest milker in the herd. I've served her to blue and if she holds she'll join my little suckler herd next year.

I'll never get rid of the jerseys, I just need a bit more volume and a bit more vigour like the cow in the foreground in this one.

There's something very sedate and pleasant about jerseys. I want more but can never find them cheap enough

Am really glad I didn't purchase any cattle at that sale.

West Webbery?

I got some really good cows and some really awfull cows from there. They were very cheap though because it was a last minute TB sale.

Wasn't bad tonight,only have one wall and a bid fan.

I'd say it was warmer in cubicles,left my sprinkler on tonight so the cows can shower if they like.

Yep that's the place, had put an offer on the farm too but had to much unsecured rented ground with it and was really more suitable for autumn block.

When I was relief milking on farms I found quite the opposite, they were nasty little things with serious attitude!!!

I've seen a little Jersey throw a 700kg Holstein in the air at the feed barrier. They were definitely the boss cows in the herd.

Think it's something similar to small man syndrome in humans
