naghhhh twas last week here ….grass growing 100 an hour here last 2 hours ….rain last night this morning ….sunny and warm now
Not sure on pastor only used one bit if it hurlers is good enough. Bit you'll be back to it the year after as it won't give the clean out of forefront..... but it depends on infestation level
Triclopyr is the active you want to be seeing on the label. Forefront based on this, doxstar is too. Don't know after that
Right and proper not to link to production. Amy time they do the processors swallow up the payments. The only place I see a justification for a production linked payments is on calf rearing. We need to encourage lads tgat are there to stay there. Even then I would limit it to the first 50-70 calves. I se it in the 50-70 euro range and pay it for calves at 6-10 months 150 days on a farm. It could only be drawn on a calf once where a suckler payments was not paid. Like the old schemes in the 70's calves should have a visible inspection on numbers above 15 every year and there should be mortality targets
Other than that payments should be area linked. IMO there will be a reassessment of payments in the next CAP. There will be a significant increase in the CAP budget. They will need to simplify access to payments too much is now leaking to advisors and other professionals. The way private advisor costs increased for last ACRES scheme was a disgrace, it was tantamount to a protection racket.
where you noticing regrowths poor on zero-grazed ground, cut 30 acres here the last week of april and barely had a 700 cover on it up to last thursday, its after exploding since growing 100 plus a day
yes. Noticed the same, stuff cut a month ago that got another go of 3 k gallons and a bag of can after cutting and it’s not ready to cut again for another few days
Same at home here, was only getting growth last of 40 for all of April
back into it today actually. 2nd time zero grazing it.
Milk recorder here this morning, she was saying 5 of her normal herds still haven't recorded in 2024. Hardly any point at this stage?
Has anyone here ever seen this happen before? Basically a heifer was getting sick to calve in the evening time.
By the following morning her pins were totally down but there was no calf and absolutely zero sign that she had calved
She started dropping milk by that evening but her pins went back up and never calved
She had to be milked because she was so forced and dropping the milk
We presumed at the time that she was gonna calve any minute then but no calf ever came
Is it that the sickness went off her, the calf was dead inside in her already and that it’s just mummified inside in her now?
All of that happened months and months ago, she never came into much milk, is going dry now though and is putting on deadly condition
It wouldn’t be totally impossible for her to have calved and for the calf to got out but it would have been incredibly unlikely that he’d of gotten out and that would have never again been seen like that
If there is no smell from her and she is putting on weight she must be clean inside....

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/XWSjsMqenvE5Ks27/?mibextid=KsPBc6 160 acre dairy farm that was discussed on here didn’t make its reserve today and was withdrawn from auction as it didn’t meant it’s reserve. No bids for the entire, the 3 lots made 1.480 together
Considering the house alone must surely be worth €300,000 on a half acre that’s awful bad money for the 3 lots. Might be a sign of things to come
twisted womb (fully twisted), you need to get vet to do a section straight away by sounds of it, had 2 this year similar, dug filled up and then disappeared. i lost both cow and calf in both situations as i was a day late getting vet
Land in tipp with a house worth around 350k and 63 acres made 1.85m, top quality land no sheds last week
600k for house, yard and 40 ish acres
600k for 70 ish acres
280 k for remaining 40 ish acres - to get to that lot you had a right of way through the 70 acre lot. Unless it was bounding you it’s wasn’t very attractive
Coolmore??
Would it look bad with low figure's. Maybe they don't want to be depressed. It's not the litres that depressed me this year, it was the meal bill
No
Wee, would he better off sending her straight to the factory, she let down and has been milked a couple of months ago. If she has condition she will do fine, while a vet messing around inside could start a right shiiit show. Unless she is something special I would send her off.
Did you have anything to blame for the cows with the twisted wombs or was It a coincidence that you had 2
It's more than likely a mummified calf but the milk let down is unusual
maybe, but if its fully twisted she will be full of fluid and condemed when in factory, id get vet if you get it early enough the cow will be fine, calf might be too if early
a twisted womb the vet normally can turn back over by hand, if fully twisted right around i think section is the only option, in my case i had a cow and heifer in calving yard and they spent a bit of time fighting with each other when they first met i put it down to that, both were seen by vet on same night, was a rough night
Take her to factory ASAP.i had one once that I was sending to factory so I dropped her up the night before to a yard that was sending cattle to away in the morning..she went downhill overnight they had a job to get her on the lorry.they will go south in an instant
Did anyone read the full post the man put up yet cos ye would need to ..............…
I am wondering that myself. By @Kerry2021 post this happened 6+months ago. IMO if that long-term, the heifer would be dead if a twisted gut and dead calf inside. There is a syndrome called phantom pregnancy basically it's a hormone imbalance. I think very rare cases of this can act like a normal pregnancy but these are extremely rare.
It was about 3 months ago that it happened. The strange thing is she had been getting sick to calve that evening and literally nothing ever happened then. I’d be guessing myself that when she’s scanned in the fall of the year that there’ll be a mummy inside in her
When she was sick to calve but nothing coming the logical thing to do would be put a hand in and check what was there.
Can't imagine anyone leaving her unchecked. Seems very careless.
Maybe if you read the posts. Had started getting sick to calve at finishing up time. I don’t have to handle every cow that’s getting sick to calve. She had literally just gotten sick to calve. I’d no reason to handle her then. She wasn’t showing any signs of anything the morning after and then started dropping milk and had to be milked. Careless post 👍🏼
what do you mean by she was sick to calve. Is there ground around you where a calf could escape to and remain unseen
She probably didn't open, he/she is inside there somewhere.
I saw a neighbour with one, years ago. They don't ever milk properly. She will either pass a half rotten calf someday or its after being mummified. If she's putting on condition, surely she's not full of poison.
He can ask the vet, but in my experience with animals, if they are good enough for the factory, that's where they should go.
I can't imagine anyone milking her and not checking for a calf when there was no calf in sight anywhere around the yard.
