1st Lact Heifers have very different milk curves vs Mature Cows. Very important to have different feed tables setup to address this #RoboLac

Mother Nature providing us with a little extra motivation to get the bunk covered.
Fortunately we were able to sneak our 2nd Cut in without a drop of rain on it

[Mike Rutherford @moomoocrew2]

@CarsonWagner01 Yes this is our field. This is the first year using the XTR seed. Higher cost but the claim is better winter hardiness. Will take feed samples to see if any difference in quality

[Mike Rutherford @moomoocrew2]

XTR Triticale head to head trial with common seed. XTR took an early lead in the spring but common seems to have caught up.
Both planted Sept 20 with 100lb N

Last years sample ~20% CP with 60-70% NDFd 🚀

@janvr @jzantinge2 Absolutely Jan and it’s a lot simpler to make than some people think. Few basic ingredients on farm and you can make your own calf mashes

Spotted a couple of Hooligans driving their Gator through my 4th cut today…. Reward offered for any information

[Chris Church @dairydoc_church]

Dairy producers, I have a question for you. Every business has metrics they watch on a daily/monthly basis to track financial success. These Key production indices (KPIs) might be pure $ numbers or production based. What do you use? Please add others if yours is missing.

@j_bylsma Yup, different bull from ABS but have a fair bit of white on them recently. Previously they were straight black and obvious Angus crosses

[Mike Rutherford @moomoocrew2]

@jzantinge2 @streutker162 Jim does that include pour-on insecticides like Boss ect?

CBC Marketplace digs deeper into #buttergate. Palm oil not likely the biggest factor in hardness. https://t.co/X3UJduvYSw

I am doing some research on milk, palm oil and butter to better understand and form an opinion (lots of content to come - stay tuned). Did you know that palmitic acid (the fatty acid in palm oil) was also naturally synthesized in cows milk and breast milk?

[Mike von Massow @mikevonmassow]

I've been thinking and reading about the butter issue and wrote this piece to help form my thoughts and opinions. #food #foodfocus #butter #palmoil #dairy #milk Buttergate or BS? https://t.co/vlwt2dgbGc

Just trying to plan my next week @foodprofessor. Will the #dairy industry be blamed for driving alcoholism and obesity because we use byproducts from distilling/brewing and baking? #distillersgraingate #bakersgraingate
