Had the same issue Drew with the girls throwing up the cud last October. Spoke to my nutritionist and he said the same thing. Now straw here in Ireland is a rare commodity but I had 70 nice bales of hay so I split one with the shear grab and mixed in half a bale to each wagon load. Job sorted. The girls can be giddy enough, same wherever you go. Keep on farming 🇮🇪
Our 1st cut that won agri scot is high in lactic acid and we fed 100 ish grams of alkacid a heed from harbro and it kept them at bay mid summer when they were on it.
Would a lely vector or gea feed robot work on your farm drew? With height restrictions they’d be no worries with them reduce the work load but know pricey investment
Drew Watched you from Hot 35 + Western Australia You and Farmer Phil Funny as I like your description of the Hairy thing on the Mike Cluster removes could possibly be set to hold them you Hey so did a hat look silly on a person;But it kept your head dry and warm Merry Christmas to you all Paddle in Oz Doin it Tuf
Hi Drew, good idea with water bottles, you could make up nice steel weights and replace bottles. The only thing, is your vacuum level on machine OK? Coz shouldn't be falling off or is the milk tube to long and heavy?? Keep the good work up.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the milkflow is too high so the vacuum level might be lower than you want it during milking. Maybe not the solution to put on higher vacuum for cow comfort but could be worth a try.
Vacuum at clock should read 46-48 Kpa for a mili line and 42-44 kpa for low level milking parlour. Milk lift from cow to milk line should be no greater than approx 2ft. It could also be liners or bleeds in claw. But as Drew says, claws very heavy.
Good video Drew’s it is pissing down in Ayrshire merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family 👍👍👍
