@CathsoftwareNMR A cow pumps 500 litres of blood through her udder to make 1 litre of milk 👍

@LauraineJacobs @grantrobertson1 @jacindaardern Again, the climate is still not best suited to grow lettuce over winter. What limited ones are grown will be expensive. That prime soil @ Auckland would be far better suited to grow crops appropriate to the climate not the consumer. Lettuce meals should wait for the summer.

@gingerjohn68 @Graiseconsult1 We also split difference on a Sunday so it’s 21hr not 24hr gaps Ie Friday pm - 2.30, Sat - 9.30am, Sunday 6.30 am, Monday 5.30 am

@gingerjohn68 @Graiseconsult1 I’m not keen on OAd. Can’t afford the drop. We were still doin 1.44 on May 1 after 3in2 till November then 10/7 for rest of season. Did record per cow, great incalf and great CS. Cows get used to it. I tell people their first investment should be a mirror 😂

@ChloeMackle @egel34 We doing 10/7 whole herd, whole season 😎

@MrsFeatherbed @Graiseconsult1 Ummmm…I’m happy to talk about it. @tracyheale is more of an expert than me. It’s relatively new here. Maybe @dairynz has some stuff also

@Graiseconsult1 Although I’d suggest 6am, 2.30pm and 9.30am . Fits the lifestyle better and has 0 impact on prodn

[Ben Allomes @ballomes]
