Another sunny morning but another day passes without Ted. He was taken far to early succumbing to Lymphoma, my best mate (no offence if you're 1 of my 2 human best mates) miss you Ted & wish you were still here.
Another great day @GenusABS charity golf day, over £3,000 raised over the last 4 years, thanks to @ROBINSON@LKLServices, @malkinsbank & #GENUSABS. It's all in good course/cause. Looking forward to 2019, 36 yrs of golfing tradition!

"We use the Breeder Tag System for our heat detection and health & feed monitoring... Using the Feed Face system, we recently changed the ration of feed and immediately saw a change in feed pattern at the Feed Face"

If a cows feed bunk time decreases pre-calving, this can indicate the cow may suffer from Metritis, Hypocalcemia or Retained Placenta post calving.
Breeder Tag System Feedface technology allows you to monitor eating behaviour, to help detect potential health issues in your herd!
Finally got the opportunity to see Dr. Gordie Jones today! Almost too much to take in!
A few underlying principles throughout
A cow should do 3 things
☆ Stand to eat and drink
☆ Stand to milk
☆ Lay down
It really is that simple!
