    Lads any of ye still doing AI, let the bulls out last week as I was worried(lazy) I might miss a heat but one of the feckers is lame this morning. Any thoughts on heat detection on 3rd or 4th rounds going back to AI?

    Still at it here, teaser bulls with chin balls top up tail paint once a week and on anything served.
    Using beef ai going grand dont think i am missing anything, keeping a couple of teaser bulls is cheaper than buying beef bulls to cover small number of cows. Just over 8 weeks ai done, cows checked at milking

    7 ft here and it's nice and spacious but I think it's too wide. Doing an extra step to get to the other side than is necessary. I'd go 6 ft max if it was to be done again
    Have seen removers in without swing arms and it's fairly dangerous tbh. They can come across the pit at you with out them

    5f6 pit here, with swingovers, and its plenty wide enough I think. I'll admit I've never been in a pit with acrs and no swingovers, I just know it can be done. Much more common is a 4f6 pit with no acrs but the vacuum drops when the cow is milked.

    You can be thinking of me tonight as you press the button and i hump my way through1/2 ton a day at the minute.

    Can't believe how long we went without feeders, used to come home from school and throw out 300kg with buckets, got a root chopper then and extended the auger to throw it out in the feed passage. And with all the bollixing because they were fed in yard or passage heifers or timid cows got feckall. Was a damn fit minor tho went full circle once I hit college tho ha

    How does the vacuum drop? Does the cluster fall on the ground?

    Maby but never seen it Tim,also if building new DONT go with a small narrow pit as it's a complete balls of a job and there's no changing it .4ft 6 with acrs is an accident waiting to happen with clusters been whipped off and narrow work space .ideal pit width would be somewhere beteween 6 and 7 foot


    Excuse my ignorance but what could happen with the cluster coming off?

    If it's an Elephant he's feeding he's gone a wee bit too far with the cross breeding thing.

    Will all the stock bulls you sold need to be tested? Do you think it'll affect future sales?

    Don't know ,hopefully not ,a bit miffed really at the reactor no one else in area down ,not a lump to be measured in anything else ,only animal bought in is 2 stock bulls which are from herds clear for years .ill be pushing to get ainmal out of here asap and if no legions and cultures clear I want clear herd status after one clear test .anyway there's worse things in life ,no one died just a pain in the ass and an inconvience .any beef stock and bulls I had to sell are sold and next time I'd of wanted to sell stock voluntarily is next janurary when culls go
