@JRfromStrickley Crikey that's awful news, take it steady with the recovery. Farming is dangerous enough without bulls turning on you. TB has so much to be blamed for. A timely reminder. Get well soon.
It's not just UK milk producers currently under milk price pressure. Fonterra have reduced their 2023/24 milk price forecast by NZ$1 per kgMS to NZ$7 per kgMS (mid point). Based on our liquid std litre of 4%b/f & 3.3% prot. This calculates as 3.55ppl reduction to 24.5ppl. ☹️

@Vince_Rookery Sorry to hear that Sam, we are in the same boat, feels like vaccine may be only answer in these parts and regular testing of all carriers. Restrictions are brutal for busness and mental health equally. Four days lost next week and results on my birthday, yikes 😬
The new cow 🐄 car 🚗 is taking shape. Rally to Barcelona in 2 days. Nothing like leaving everything until the last minute. Brakes check.... lights check......respray check....... cow on roof.......not yet.
@Graiseconsult1 High quality dry feed, I am sure your cows will cope Andre. Good luck thinking of you. I went on a beef grower unit in outback Australia on my Nuffield and brown square paddocks were getting growth rates of clover that amazed me.
