This nest was on the spare tire of our other trailer. We made 2 trips with it before we noticed (about 12 miles). Put it on the trailer next to it and mom found her nest. #robins
He had to get in there. The help was appreciated. #stepsaver#cowsarehisretirementhobby It is still a privilege to work with your dad. He will be 89 this fall.
@HushtonBlock@garrett_wolf3 I have been kind hearted a few times (once as recently as last preg check and it bites me in the ass at least 50% of the time. 5,000,000 cows in Canada means there has to be at least 1 out there that’s better.
@garrett_wolf3@HushtonBlock Our process is focused on cows per FTE. Every problem and associated time spent reduces the number of cows we can run. Herds doing traditional mgt and winter calving are capped by labour (125-150/FTE). An hour saving 1 calf could instead add value to a couple of hundred calves…
@HushtonBlock I agree on the heritable and repeatable part but we keep our policy pretty simple. If we help they are gone. In the grand scheme of things, one cow is not so valuable and it has led to a very low labor herd. It also puts a big onus on mgt to avoid problems (actually manage)..
