    Would that be considered normal? Would have thought it would be that high. How long of a dry period would that leave you with?

    I know your based in France, would such a level be normal in Ireland too? Sorry for the questions.

    It varys from farm to farm but it generally happens when the daily milk yield declines from 2-3l/day.
    Dried off 2 months before calving.

    I just work out a return on investment. Sorry. If I can sell soya on the world mArket for say €440/ton I look at the investment into the cows. Likewise with maize (grain).

    Just hope cat never needs glasses- nothing to hold them on if no ears. And don't use snippy snippy in sentences. Might bring tears to some mens eyes
