    Standard enough you have to sell them hard to get a crowd. Grandparents local to the area are a good mark.

    Anyone else here get those statistics forms sent out to them to fill in?,
    Been getting them twice a year here for years. Bit of a pain to be honest, have to fill in area farmed, area in different crops, livestock numbers, hours worked etc
    If not filled in on time they keep sending reminders, is there a penalty for just binning them and forgetting about it!?

    Let me know what setting you are looking for and I can look up for you

    might be no harm to give her 2 magnessium bullets also to cover her for a couple of months, we give them to any cows that get tetany after treatment

    Taking to someone there recently who had met a Nun who was 93 years old. For her birthday they got her a smart phone. He asked her how was she getting on with it. Grand, she said, but she hadn't figured out yet, how to cut and paste from a text to an e-mail.:D

    I don't know if it's any consolation but that happened to uncles of mine when they were still in their thirties. Mind you they're still younger than you now and those kids are near 20 soo..... maybe not that much help.

    Got 40 of the late winter/early spring calvers scanned today. 4 empties in total, all were cows that were dirty inside, they had showed one strong heat back in May, and had not come bulling since, so alittle disappointing in that respect, but to be expected. I'm thinking of getting them washed out, then coils/injection, what sort of timeframe would you's suggest to do all that?

    Good result I'd say.
    Cull those cows as they are problem cows and are going to be late calvers. Milk away and they will be putting on condition as calved a while, at drying send to factory. They'll leave you more money than farting around with treatments to have nothing only a late calving cow at the end. You also have lots of heifers coming on so they will make room for them
