@1stGenDairyFarm No you’ve to cut the cord then take it out with your teeth conception rates 30% higher

Iv heard when you pull the cord with your teeth conception rates are higher 😂

@KevinoHanlon12 @NatDairyAwards Top operator kev Best of luck

Nice to get nominated for farm manager category thanks @NatDairyAwards

@2pintpaddy @MunsterBovine @HerdPlus Seems to be like that but the drought could change things nothing worse than 35-42 day repeats but hopefully it will be a good year

@odlanorpatten @MunsterBovine @HerdPlus Thanks Steven 👍 , they went very quiet the last few weeks, and was watching them a hawk , so glad to results we're good 🙂
