Split calving xbreds, flying herd, self feed silage, pursuing the 5 day week. You have to live the dream!

@paudy67 Woodlands Leisure park near Dartmouth in South Devon is great for kids that age. Near some good beaches too.

@Agwillvf Listening to Steve Wright in recent years has been like watching your favourite dog die slowly.

@fordcows @AlJohnston06 @PromarSustain @GenusABS @theRABDF @AHDB_Dairy @NFUtweets It’s an animate object there is only one left and right 🤦‍♂️ I used to get this nonsense debate after asking a staff member to put the eartag in the calf’s left ear. 🤣🤦‍♂️

@CooilDavid Yeh we’re using less N and finding that it looks a bit organic with lots of quality dark green round last graze dung pats and a lighter colour and less leafy in between. The grass in between is looking a bit stressed and stalky tbh.

[Rich Dayment @DairyDayment]

This grazing season has been zero stress compared to last year.

[Rich Dayment @DairyDayment]

@CooilDavid 2979 including the 3 paddocks we shut up for long term silage last week. I’ve shut up another 7 paddocks now to clamp next week so afc is now 2405 and on a 16 day round.

@grazingnut @JoeDelves Platform only. Silage ground all separate and not measured. Taking out 11 paddocks of surplus for the clamp next week and having a reseeding session. Understocked for these growing conditions!

@niels_corfield Temperature. Last April was frosty nearly every day with daytime max temp 12°C then it rained near constantly for 3 weeks from 28th April because @farmerdanb did too much rain dancing 🤣

@JoeDelves 2kgs of cake/cow/day doesn’t break the bank either… despite the horrendous price/t.

@farmerdanb @RansonNick @TomGillEnviro We put a straw raft on our new lagoon because it’s supposed to reduce ammonia emissions by 85% 🤷‍♂️ it’s nothing like that crust on yours though. Presumably the crust itself gives off emissions that straw doesn’t?

[Rich Dayment @DairyDayment]

Pretty sure that’s the point of the scheme Alan… work less and not as hard and have a more enjoyable life. 🤷‍♂️

[Lord Sugar @Lord_Sugar]

This is a bloody joke. The lazy gits make me sick. Call me old fashioned but all this work from home BS is a total joke. There is no way people work as hard or productive as when they had to turn up at a work location. The pandemic has had long lasting negative effect.

@JoeDelves It’s about bloody time! Elon… Bring back the strawberry sundae and make sure it’s made of proper ice cream! TIA cheeersss

[Rich Dayment @DairyDayment]

@JoeDelves I only came to check if Elon had deleted all the veg@ns yet 🤷‍♂️

[Rich Dayment @DairyDayment]

@gerbuck333 @davidkerr67 Sensehub eartags also excellent.
