summer calving of 36 cows has gone very smooth only got 2 left to calve.
at 11.5 % MTs in spring calvers 8 week mating.
will have to buy MTs in at end season to put to summer calving as that MT rate is to low.
Grass will grow now after this rain which will be good for second half season production.

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!
