@bartjevandeven Yea will put bit pressure of myself if I get good result

[Pauric Rooney @PauricRooney]

@bartjevandeven I’m hoping for more than 70% 6wk calf rate and less than 10% empty rate cause I’ve only seen less than handful of bulling cows since I stop mating but you can never be too sure

We’ve lifted our 2020/21 forecast Farmgate Milk Price range to NZD $6.90 - $7.50 per kgMS, up from NZD $6.70 - $7.30 per kgMS off the back of strong demand for dairy. Read more here: https://t.co/97oNe0y4nG

So Happy New Year everyone and try and have laugh with someone

90% of people seeing this post would disagree with me but I thought this year was my best year so far, even though it took me couple weeks to getting over covid.
The fact that I got chance to buy and milk my own cows on awesome farm. I’m so grateful
