@MaizeingPete @LeeLaframboise Well generally that’s added in the mineral or separately added on farm. But it’s feed grade urea. Feeding levels change based on forages and commodities used.

I use this calculator to know how much to put in.

Finished milking when we got off the bus then usually had night milkers and he was able to go to hockey with us.

That’s ridiculous. Not my kind of fun.

Then we can do DMI daily for each group! “You cant mange what you don’t record”- someone smarter then me

But I know of 4 that have been pulled. 3 of the same colour and one “other colour”. I think they all had similar reasons and it’s just that they aren’t robot farmers. Some people are better off with a parlour. 🤷‍♂️

Not many tiestalls left in SW Ontario. I don’t know of any robomax down here at least.

Parlour just works for us so far still. We don’t do any field work so got time to milk.
