Dairy Chitchat 4, an udder new thread.

A consistent buffer is definitely a great job but does that not attach you to the place like a zero grazer?

I understand the reasons for switching the bulls, but surely the bulk of the work is done is there any need to swap around. More work handling bulls. Less handling the better in my view.

Out of interest do people feed the bulls in the parlour? We did if they came into the parlour. Some didnt bother coming into the collecting yard.

You must have heard that down the pub how actually would you get the bull to the paddock on his own and for him to stay there on his own waiting an accident waitinh to happen messing around with bulls.With the price of bulls now i think any herd over 70 cows should use some sort of computer device for detection and go fully ai.

Swap every few days here. Works grand.

yea

But swapping them out night the cows have a great time and neither bull misses out. If one bull is firing blanks then it'd be bad luck for the second lad to be doing it.

The only loser is potentially the farmer if one of the bulls gets fired up because his fun is being taken away.

Is there a house still in middle not for sale?. If so buyer beware theres loads of cheap farms on daft cheap for a reason and its not that its bad land or bad area

days like today you just wonder why you bother your arse.had the council in as part of the Suir catchment thing and your just left with a bill to put down a tank to satisfy the eu,deregation,single farm payment etc, etc.

No problem with the old cow house that was converted to a calf shed for calves before from Bord Bia to department inspectors before till today.

Only for I’m too old to try something else now you’d really question your choices in life.

Ya my last board bia girl coped the calf house had no catchment tank for calf piss. But I didn't do anything about it. I suppose a precast tank at the door would do. Not a massive job if the pressure comes on.

Right wing politician maybe?
