Well, the visit as mentioned last time , by Cogent Breeding went very well .
The cows were just looking a million dollars , especially Chloanne Goldwyn Gracious , who , true to form, was just modelling herself off as if being a supermodel.
With any luck this will all lead to her being contracted again for Cogent , in the hope of them getting a bull calf to go on and be tested in the young bull testing scheme.
Chloanne Goldwyn Gracious 2 is also now starting to attract some attention to herself , and once she calves again in October , i think there could be some interest from a couple of companies.
Milk yields in the main herd continue to be steady , although more milk is always welcomed.
We are waiting to here from Keenan Nutrition with regard to tweeking the ration and also from Harbro about a different mineral. Feeding a modern dairy cow is more of a science now , rather than just grass and pellets etc.
The herd finally got their Bluetongue vaccine yesterday , so that is them covered for another year.
Monday will see the foot-trimmer in to spruce up some long-toes in a few of the girls.
