@kiltullaghfarm Some going to break the 700kgs ms Fran. How much meal is fed on average? What is in the buffer, is it both sides of the year? What is average cow weight? What % of herd is Fleckvieh?
Solidarity with anyone peacefully standing with the victims' family but let's be clear: nobody rioted when these women died. The PSNI recorded 4,090 sexual offences in NI in 23/24. Nobody rioted. Most of the perpetrators are Northern Irish men.
I was in Cavan yesterday, fella has a fairly rough looking Charolais bull in with Friesian heifers outside of Virginia⦠wonder how next spring will go for him⦠#teamdairy
@SeanMoy98947674@AndyClaydenPtns@aidandonn_@JerryMoloney1@DarraghScott On the bull file March vs May, his calving interval went up 4 days (from -11.49 to -7.56) and survival reduced from 3% to 1.14%. Reliability on fertility SI went from 49% to 51%. So not much data caused the drop....
@AndyClaydenPtns@aidandonn_@JerryMoloney1@SeanMoy98947674@DarraghScott Teak was born in Oct '20, yr old Oct '21, 1st calf Oct '22, 1st daughter calved Oct '23 .. so no completed lactations etc yet. No calving intervals etc. So what is the data that has whacked his fertility? Age at first calving and what? He could very well go back up.
@AndyClaydenPtns@aidandonn_@JerryMoloney1@SeanMoy98947674@DarraghScott I didn't use Teak, not my gravy, primarily because of percentages. But it comes down to bull teams - and using him or any bull at 10% is fine, using him at 30% or any other bull unless properly proven was/is a mistake....
