@oord_van Turned out to be a pretty exciting game to be at

@Carolyn_JMac 🤮🤮🤮

@CanadianCowMan I run my Jaylor with a 2094 Case. Paid $6500 11 yrs ago. Wouldn't want to use that tractor in the field but on the mixer it has been great.

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@stewdairyinc I think I'm going to be a Tampa fan from now on. They know how to win and when I'm in Florida I can see a game for under $100. The Leafs are the biggest disappointment of life

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@stewdairyinc The real struggle is in the tractors with the hired man height gap. That is a daily issue. He moves seat up, I move it back. He let's air out and I fill air back up.

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@stewdairyinc Yeah but same height gap. 5'4 to 6'4. She drives my truck about once a year. Never puts the seat back where it belongs

@Royridgefarm You're teaching him well

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@MarcoBoonstopp1 @Royridgefarm I've got a river and a road between the woods and the farm so hopefully I'll just get the one

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@MarcoBoonstopp1 @Royridgefarm This better not turn into the same problem you guys have with deer. Been hanging around for about a month. Fearless

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@MarcoBoonstopp1 @Royridgefarm When that happens they will get "re-homed"

@foodprofessor has churned up some trouble with #buttergate, claiming that Canadian butter (@dfc_plc) is now harder at room temperature, claiming this is driven by the practice of palm oil feeding in the dairy industry. There is a lot to unpack here, so this will be a 🧵 1/12

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@sunnypointfarm @Royridgefarm @nickbokma You're right. Major issue when they're marketing bulls at 15+% inbred. Very hard to find less than 10%. I just shake my head when I see some of the matings

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@Royridgefarm @sunnypointfarm @nickbokma I am hoping there is a polled bull coming down the pipe soon that has Mirand type but not related. Very hard to find. I do a CDN inbreeding each mating and am trying to keep it as low as possible

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@smidtnb Thanks John, we'll have to look into that tomorrow

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

I have 2 NH T6050 tractor air seats that are more or less screwed (air bags don't hold air, backrest busted) looking at replacing them. Has anyone replaced a seat? Aftermarket or OEM?

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@Royridgefarm I bet it's an awesome feeling to see him step up and show interest like that

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@lojoholsteins Congratulations! She still looks like a young cow

[Ron Versteeg @RVersteeg1]

Good news: No milk being dumped in Ontario this weekend. Which means everyone in the supply chain has made the necessary adjustments. For now. The future is still unpredictable

[Matthew Clarke @dairydynasty]

@valleyfarmboy Some big name, breed changing bulls on that list. And look at the prices!!
