    Don't agree with that at all.
    More like 95% of the time whinging about milk price to anyone who'll listen. And other 5% backslapping each other on how great ye are.

    We can whinge, backslap, worry about cows in heat and fill a bulk tank all at the same time. It's called multi tasking.

    Which is why God made dairy farmers the day after he made cows.

    How is breeding going for everyone? Six weeks up here tomo, submitted 100% heifers in 14 days and 92% of cows in 22 days, unfortunately only 50% of heifers held and looking like around 51-52% of cows holding, pretty crap really :/

    Scanned heifers. Only 65% of heifers held to first seve. I assume 75% would be a target or would it be closer to 80.
    Disappointed as heifers weighed very well at MSD and were fed Selenium and Iodine in water.
    Half came in naturally and other half got synchronised after 10days.
    Any thoughts or what figures are lads on here achieving with conception to first serve with heifers.

    The neighbour getting on well with a 50:50 mix of dairynuts and rolled barley in the parlour. 175e for the rolled barley at the min, so it's a decent saving over 250e for the nut. Anyone else do anything similar? I'd be using pig feeders against the neighbour who has Orby feeders with a loft and no augers etc.

    If ye got as much rain as we did fire away. I put out 18-6-12 on Sat across the whole farm buthad no compound out before now. I would have no hesitation about urea if that's what was needed.

    Was up that direction last week for a wedding, some pretty interesting country up there. 18 degrees in the middle of winter! 700,000 for a 100 cow farm, she would be pretty handy run, easy life. Tempting!

    Just a quick reminder for any Kerry suppliers who wish to contest the lack of a 13th payment this year, the closing date for receipt of forms authorising the solicitors to contest the case on your behalf is next Monday, 20th of June.

    Contact the solicitors Terence F. Casey & company in Killarney for forms or your local director should have them also.

    I have a spare form here also if someone needs one, PM me and I can pass it on to you.
