@robcolton3 @doveagenetics Very disappointing to see a bull with a high Fertility figure, from a heifer that didn't manage to calve in February and no record of calving at all the following year. Sire-no solid fertility data due to only one years milking daughters. EBI on a dangerous path.

@doveagenetics Waterpark…….anything but…. Where’s the dams second lactation information? No calving recorded in 2023. 366kgms is hardly shout worthy?🤷🏻‍♂️

@SullivanCathal @cowtracks1 Interested. Please DM back to allow DM. Thanks

@cowtracks1 Can you follow back so I can DM

Quality astro - for making tracks stone-free - coming available in the ROI shortly. Both sand-filled and 3G. DM with eircode for price if interested.

@SalesianAg @aidan_bren Any reason for 3in2 over 10in7? Did kgsMS/day drop much? Thanks

Flexible milking working well, four weeks into it now. We are doing 3 milkings in two days. 6am + 4pm day 1 and 10am day 2. Improving #WorkLifeBalance for employees @aidan_bren

@jamesbourke13 @JerryMoloney1 @AlanBurton12 @Grangecowboy Sure you don’t need to be elected anymore to get in a position to totally F up the country.

@jheslin14 @AllflexIreland @msd_ah Time to give up going to Croke Park 😅

I was in Croke Park on Sunday and received a health alert for this cow 😩You see her eating, rumination and activity fell off a cliff! Vet treated for (early) Timber Tongue and normality has resumed. SenseHub & vet saved any prolonged illness and drop in performance 🙌 #AgTech

Twin Room available for Talbot Hotel Tues 19th July (Tomorrow night), prior to @IrishGrassland Dairy Conference. If anyone is interested DM me for details. Thanks.

@ihegarty1984 Any issues manoeuvring the Kuhn mower (out behind) on farm roadways?

17%of milking platform dropped this evening .Cover per cow 179,thanks to discussion group for great advice today!!

@AidanAidanmc @timolearyifa1 @davidkerr67 @ChristyTuffy My gut feeling would be that the xbred dam is contributing more to the progeny performance than we think.

@AidanAidanmc @timolearyifa1 @davidkerr67 @ChristyTuffy If you look up the average production of some of the high High EBI bulls you have used in the past,on ICBF(available in the Milk section), and contrast them to the top NZ FR and xbred bulls (who are well proven at this stage),it will give you a clearer picture what you can expect

Most of second calvers by PBM following advice from ceo of Ihfa. A very astute man.#teamdairy

@davidkerr67 Strong team. What index/criteria do you use to select NR?

I don't use sire advice but for a snapshot it's fine. #breeding22

@teagascgrams Any results on the trial to delay AI (on FTAI program) for sexed straws George?

Here's the Teagasc Moorepark protocol for using PRIDs or CIDRs on maiden heifers with conventional semen.

@PhilipTyndall Will you be topping up P & K on that too?

Set up for silage🤞2k gallon/ac

@eamon_sheehan @tommythevet @TheFarmerT What procedure do you follow for administration Eamon?

@tommythevet @TheFarmerT Great job, will be using it again this year without fail.

🦠Precision Microbes a game changer in calf health 🦠 I talk about my simple top tips on calf health ahead of spring calving WATCH and read about a game changing product in gut health in calves Really appreciate a RETWEET or a share of this article 🙏 shar.es/aWKwVg

@tommywalsh1010 Cows were a picture yesterday Tom, and credit to you 👌

Cows very relaxed this morning. Currently on 5kg dm silage 4 kg nuts trying to hold or increase farm grass cover. Production is steady at 2.05 kgms and we got 7ml of rain so hopefully get a little more rain
