The clocks have gone forward and we have all "lost" an hour.
However this also means that it is still light now at 8pm and this in turn just means more hours of daylight to do more jobs.
Therefore it will be no surprise to learn that I am just in the door having been rolling fields.
We are getting behind with the land work, purely because of the weather, so this has been a great chance to get on.
The cows are still milking fine , however Chloanne Addison Gracious is really very lame at the moment and I can't see what the problem is.
Hopefully she will resond to several overdoses of TLC and will be back to her usual self soon.
Cows will be going out soon now and this sould also put a spring in their step as well as mine ! !

NO Non-Compliances
The above are the magical words to hear after you have just had the Dairy Farm Assurance Audit.
All went very well with no points to be pulled up on. This follows on very nicely from the visit from the Dairy Inspecor. These visits are unannounced and are enough to make you very nervous. However for that visit we scored 93% so we must be doing something right.
The cows are all milking extremely well at the moment and the milk tanker is now coming in every day now.
Milk quality has been exceptional as well so we are riding on a real "high" at the moment.
Looking forward to the middle of April as that will be the time to turn the cows out to the summer fields. They will be glad to be out after the long winter.
In the Chloanne herd , Chloanne Hanno Gracious has been confirmed in calf to our stock bull Ellenneff Storm Johnnie, so that is pleasing as at least she in pregnant to a black and white bull.
