Main goals are to grow more grass per hectare and do higher production per cow, from grass, not from extra meal. Definitely will see some new equipment come in over the next 6 months and maybe some projects on the cards too.
Why do the vets put their arm in each cow to scan? In New Zealand the scanners are mounted on a flexible probe, much easier on the cow and the scanning technician
Advantage with the scanning is you know how far along they are so you have more accurate predicted calving dates. That is important to us as we divide cows be calving dates coming into calving season.
I have learned so much from all your videos but please any contacts we are planning to open one of the biggest in Africa with close to 2,500 cows. we will need you how can we get to you. Thanks and hope to read from you
We found it harder to hold production at the weekend with 2 OAD milkings back to back. With milking TAD on a Saturday, you have 2 TAD milkings back to back, which gives the cows a little boost. Might switch to 10 in 7 later, but for now, the 11in7 is working well.
@boertjejanvh3696 I don't know who did to be honest. I was in New Zealand on college work placement at that time. I say the drawings were mixed up or misinterpreted and that the fall should have been the other way.
Hi Mark, might be trying to solve a problem that doesn't need solving but a flygt or sulzer make chopper pump should handle that sediment and solid.
Why the blue barrels in 2 points?
Units not working
What’s the plan for next spring?
Any goals or projects?

They did have a probe actually that tge tried at the end and seamed to like. The risk with the probe is you can't feel your way around
Good stuff
Do you harvest rainwater to provide additional supply for the demands of the diary? Great vids btw!
No, most of our water comes from wells ams springs on the fam

Would u consider pregnancy test at milk recording I would only scan the heifers less stressful on cows I think the reliability is roughly same
