I never thought much of brandy but someone got me a bottle at Xmas and a bottle of Port so lately I took to having a brandy & port. Not a bad drink. I could see myself getting used to it :-)

Hot port with Brandy. Very soothing. 2:1 port to brandy.

Drank brandy once at a party. I had the worst hangover ever after it. Think the headache lasted 3 days. Wont be drinking it again ever

carrollsno1 · 18-01-2018 09:28AM

Doing one of my last milkings this evening and i was taking habdy as there was a bit of a thunderstorm and tbe cows were nervous so i had plenty of time to think.
I done out the maths there and then, when my grandfather was milking his most at 30 cows hed have to do 300 days of milking twice a day to match what cupping on id do in 40 days (120hrs), allow 45 minutes for 30 cows on a 4 unit parlour that would take him 450hrs throughout the year. Really shows the changes ive even seen in dairy technology in my short time on the earth, altough im not sold on the rotary parlours you have to say they do have great output of cows per hour. Now i can really understand why my wrists are giving me bother and im only a chap.

And this morning i had a brainwave to try a new way of holding the cups and it felt perfect there was no pain in my wrist at all, maybe ye do it this way anyway but i tried holding the pulsator and vacuum pipe instead of the bowl of the cup theres definitly less weight on your wrist doing int that way IMO what do ye think of that method of cups on?

I was helping a relation with scanning sheep this morning.
When they work with you it's great.
When they don't. :rolleyes:
There's a special breed of people that have sheep!

Some of the roads were closed with trees down from the wind last night.

It's slower but I swap the weight bearing hands on every cow. So hold the bowl with your right hand and put on the two left side cups (front and back) with your left hand then swap and hold the bowl with your left hand and put on the two right hand side cups.
I'd be a terrible slow relief milker and I've only a small number of cows but I've never had pains in my wrists from milking.

Had a visitor to the farm here yesterday. He took his dirty wellies out of the boot of his car and put them on. Wtf. Who does that in this day and age?

Have sheep and cattle here. Much prefer working with the sheep. They are way more intelligent than the cattle.
