26L Pr3.33% Bf4.30 2kgs meal Scc 63, but last 160, so it's up and down, should be consistently lower though. 55% of herd 1st and 2nd calvers. Probably close to peak at that for me

td5man · 07-05-2014 10:59PM

Bf 3.65
pr3.6
bf a bit lower than usual
Thermoduric 10 what should it be, lakeland have only started testing for it.

75% first cavers here wouldn't of peaked that high but you will find that you will flat line for longer

How much nitrogen is being taken up this weather, would it be 3 units a day?

Twice a month here if you are grading they do it more often I think. They test 4 scc fat and protein but no other quality test on the days they are testing for termos.

Should that be 3.48 pr%, which would still be superb, great bf% as well. Spring calving? Holstein or jx?

I'm guessing he was out with the bf also? Freedom and Je ha, thats an insult and a 1/2 I'd say. 26l doesn't seem like much from his 10kl/yr HOs either, are a decent few autumn calved? Or maybe he is ripping the piss with his figures ha?

mf240 · 08-05-2014 07:33PM

26 includes autumn and a share of heifers he said a while back.

Cows milking just over 28 litres here with 5 out of 50 calved over 400 days (going to be culled soon and 10 autumn calvers.

Protien 3.39 and butterfat 3.69. Urea 20 scc 248.

Grazing reclaimed bog at the moment. Getting 3.5 kgs 16 % nut.

I think the only jersey freedom would let into tge palour would be one with sleeves.

How's ground holding up with ye. Cows finished up in a 48 hour paddock this evening. 4 grazings plus last nights rain didn't do it any favours.
Had 18 heifers bulling last night ( estrumate is working well) and they ploughed a paddock. Things would want to dry up next week.
