@JerryMoloney1 @kieran_kigr Jesus that’s a tough one Jerry! Have heard about cows choking on cleanings!

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@TrevorFarrell12 Whole milk always here. Better for calves IMO. Less work than milk replacer here anyway

@GillwallyO I have been gone back to oral dose at dry off last few years and have no coughing in cows due to lungworm during the summer, which had become a problem when I was doing pour on at dry off.
Is there a link there or just coincidence I wonder!

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@JerryMoloney1 We had a great growing year up until last week 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@JerryMoloney1 Haven’t had rain in 4 weeks here 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@JerryMoloney1 I done an 80ft x 9ft x 14’6 slat over the winter and came in at 36k plus vat, grant spec.

@shayesSandra @John61806159 @teagasc @PastureBase @TeagascGrass10 @TeagascT @TirlanFarmLife @TeagascSignpost Is it 4.5 all year or just for 1st half?

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@TeagascKKWD @PastureBase @fitzysteven @TeagascGrass10 @TeagascSignpost @TirlanFarmLife @fitzysteven Just wondering what you have done differently, as in our last group meeting, everyone has to supplement with silage, wouldn’t have a hope of grass and meal only??

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@TeagascKKWD @PastureBase @fitzysteven @TeagascGrass10 @TeagascSignpost @TirlanFarmLife What area cows getting per day?
For 110 cows that would be 1 ha per day?
Very low stocking rate that would relate back to??

@keenan17 Same here!! Going to be a long winter! We are feeding silage the last 5 weeks! No end in sight for silage 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@JerryMoloney1 @GDug11 Would Have a lovely 2020 320s for you Jerry. Genuine machine!

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@sprinkles785 @Yara_Ireland You don’t spread protected urea so I imagine?

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@PPasturesIRE @JerryMoloney1 Not on silage ground this year. Have heard numerous farmers with “striping” in their 2nd cuts. Pure disaster!

@JerryMoloney1 Did you cut? Lashed here this evening

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@Ampandrew @brianjcorr1 Have OnTrak here too. I think it’s excellent. Very simple, no wires and can move between tractors

[Padraig Callanan @podgecal]

@ChristyTuffy OnTrak gps. I find excellent and easy to work and can move from tractor to tractor. No wires!
