Very good winter for growing grass. APC 2300 and we milked 90 cows through the winter. Now 10 calves on the ground and we are into calving exciting times! Count down. 190 cows to go. The winter milkers maintained over 2ms/cow over the winter.

The rapeseed crop worked really well. They milk off it well. Have better quality silage this year which helped as well. Best of luck to everyone for this up coming calving! Have FUN and enjoy yourselves!

28 cows in milk. Dry cows 50 will calve from 20th January. Ms/cow 2.2. Feed 2.5kg pke, 2.5 kg ddg, 1kg crushed wheat. Just had very good rain but need some follow up rain to really kick it in to gear.
Been doing lime and urea mix this season following the cows at 400kg. Will do 2 rounds at that which will give me 660kg lime and 2 rounds at 70kg urea.

The dry cows will be grazed on farm. They only need maintenance as all of them are over 5 condition already.
