jordantaylor Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 I like this topic, it's a lovely farm you get to be involved with. cheers, it is a great farm. it part of a group called fletcher&co. they run lots of dairy farms in the uk and are always taking on new staff and sending them round their farms to get them fit and ready for managing their own dairy farms. i am lucky to have been able to go down and do what i do as i am not only earning a bit of money but i am getting free training and learning as i work.

jordantaylor Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Great to see the cows outside. Texas yes we are going to try and keep them outside for as long as we can as the grass is where the nutrients are. they are not doing as much silage this year aswell due to us getting the cows out. we have already stopped using one silage clamp and so now we will just run off the two but we could probably cut it down to one if we really packed it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Good to see the gates and stiles going in. Some say if you make and effort to guide Ronnie Rambler in the right direction, he'll ake an effort to keep to the paths. A little bit of cooperation goes a long way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
