    Just noticed neighbor om top of the valley across from.me is picking up silage. Wonder will it be any good?

    I bet it will, made some wraps last year in the middle of October and I can safely say it was the best silage we had all year. Didn't even get rained on while it was down for a day.:P

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    The first rule of getting a serious amount of heifers calves is you must not talk about getting a serious amount of heifer calves. the second rule of getting a serious amount of heifer calves is you must not......:D. You've jinxed it now you won't get another one until Paddy's day.

    That was at 7.428 seconds per cow. Come on there's more in you. Sub 7 must be your goal.

    Not sure that's possible, not for me anyways. I have my technique fairly well perfected at this stage, front two cups held in hand together, first one attached then second, 25% reduction in reaching down time. And today's performance was with help from 14 impeccably behaved cows.
