Greg&Amy+3 sons-dairy Lely robotics, organic cert farms. Our contented cows milk themselves. Amy is the tweeter & breast cancer survivor - happy to chat π
Fantastic few days at @Fonterra My Connect conference. Picked up the @dairy_women Monopoly game...or Moonopolyπas it's nicknamed in our house. π€ π²
@LelyHolding@DairyRobot please please change the M4Use settings so that more than 20L can be collected before the alarm goes off (& further calf milk then goes down the drain)! We have a 200L collection container - 20L is hopeless. π
@NzFubar American dairy farms have the option to use rbST (artificial growth hormone) π€’. It increases milk production by 10-25%. It is not permitted for use in NZ. I'd like to know if this is rbST free and GMO free (eg the cows feed) - even so I'll always choose NZ dairy.
@MarkHubbard33@craig_farndale@Fonterra Unfortunately our best artisan cheese maker in the Manawatu passed away a couple of years ago. He took most of his cheesemaking secrets with him.
These are the best days. Cicadas & cows munching. This is our box of chocolates mob - a big selection π Friesian, Hereford, Angus, Belgium Blue & Flekviah. I took this video this morning on the way to meet a tour group from Summerset Village, Aokautere. #cows#organic#dairy
@94822rfn@NzFubar Did you read the full statement (only on one news site?) FFS what is wrong with people pulling her apart. I couldn't read the full thing through tears, her children could be any of our children. They were beautiful kids doing normal kids things attending a local rural school.
@bulbasaur2713 I was pretty young but I really only remember the lolly bins. We were only allowed to choose a couple each because they were so expensive or so mum used to say. π€£
@NzFubar@SimpleKiwi1963 She didn't set up the crowd funding and I would imagine she had nothing to do with that in her state of shock. A few of her girlfriends did - remember she has lost everything. It's not unusual for someone to lose their home & possessions to have friends set up a givealittle.
@NzFubar@94822rfn Does it matter? It was mid afternoon...grocery shopping, Xmas shopping, getting her nails done perhaps. Even a stay at home mum is allowed some time out while the man who is supposed to love his kids looks after them. Why are you so antsy about this?
@94822rfn@NzFubar This is a truly despicable comment. Are you actually saying that it's okay to kill your children if their mother annoys you or if you feel wronged by anyone just go and murder their loved ones? You & that POS are what is wrong with the male gender.
@NzFubar@moaroaster Does it really matter if she was food shopping, Xmas shopping, getting her nails done or god forbid getting an hour to herself? The only POS here is the man who took away those littlies lives.
@NzFubar That's not an odd thing to say at all. She spoke indepth about her children and tagged in about their beloved family dog. Poor woman, she is going to need so much strength.
