Drying off Cows

Farfield · 2012-09-13 13:36:47

What procedure do most of you guys go through when drying off your cows? Apart from fluke and dry cow tubes do many of you use a sealer - and if so whats your experience of using teat sealers?

i use a sealer, way better results last year since i started using them. the latter calving cows i sometimes use a longer lasting dry tube. I didnt use a sealer two yrs ago and got a couple of e coli cases. thats my own results. other lads use no sealer and get good results
