Rang Saturday saying he'll take all the pit silage we have spare. . . A different neighbour had it bought 8 days ago.

Worried about the soiled water burning the grass with the temps they are talking about. The cold is a pita for growth but grazing and soil condition is excellent.

Main problem here this year is results are taking longer, posted on a monday and not getting results until Saturday. Also results are up on line but text doesnt come for a day or 2 after this , anyone else finding this?

Ñr seem really fertile and well able for walking long distances don't think any of them took mastitis but there milk components let them down a little have plenty of litres tho. Much prefer them to the fr batch I bought at the same time
