When @rthonjennie clocked @Number10cat

Hoping not to have to put my veterinary training to use.

Finally a proper summers evening! 3rd cut being rowed up for chopping in the morning.

@richrobscows1 @1stGenDairyFarm Would suggest grazing re growth is the cause of the MF. I pre set out bales of hay in our calving fields. Out wintering style & use ring feeders & mobile water troughs to move cows onto a fresh section every 48hrs. Back fence tight up behind. 230 calved last yr outside only 2 MF

We have recalled Agent Truss from the field, her work is complete.

@niche_nosh This is awesome Nick! 👌

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

@RodneyDown @HefinR @BakersofHP I suspect it’s a lot more than processors are prepared to pay. As it’s not purely a financial decision. Seasonal work load and job variation are big factors where owners are contributing significantly to labour plus the ability to attract good staff.

@JosephPatter5on Belt & braces then I suppose

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

Quick bit of parlour training today for the R2s before turning them out. All stock now out full time! 🙌😅

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

@2pintpaddy Do you normally start this early Paddy? With the weather and cows not full time at grass. Plus your collars not working. Would you not wait a bit?

[Russ Cook @hardestgeezer]

The first person ever to run the entire length of Africa. Mission complete🫡

After 11 years working together, our Farm Manager is taking the next step and taking on his own farm. This leaves a great opportunity for an enthusiastic person with experience in managing cows, people and land to be part of something special at Bore Place https://t.co/Y17aFtygYs

@davidm3329 @woodtownjerseys @Shanefitzy90 Calved around 150 moneyman here in the last two years. Very easy calving and calves sold well at market and privately. 👌

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

@niche_nosh Sorry to see this Nick!

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

Got to celebrate the success stories! 5 days of lifting twice a day & carrying food and water. She’s getting up and down on her own and been through the milking parlour! 🙌

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

@fordcows That’s fantastic Matt! Great seeing your improvement every year!

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

@Barbara40592522 I don’t think I’ve seen a single spade on the site next to us!! 😂

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

Massive effort from a skeleton weekend team to get the maize sheeted up last night.

Highlight of the day had to be HS2 security turning up to check we hadn’t stolen one of their loading shovels! 🙄

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

@richrobscows1 Yeah everything calved outside mid August to late October.

[Sam Adams @Sam_Adams_1]

75% of the herd dried off as of today plus snatching 3rd cut before the next lump of rain arrives tonight.
