    noticed the cows eating the docks just leaving the bare stalks.

    they also pull at the dithces on the way in the lane for milking and have taken a liking to a sally bush and have all the leaves cleaned off it.

    they are on well fertilized leafy grass and plenty of it. they have access to straw at milking time which they eat some. they are looking well and breeding seems to have gone well. they are not scoury nor is butterfat exceptionally low.

    thoughts?
