Safe to say the girls are working extremely hard right now. This is the average milk sold over the past 2 days for all cows and heifers in herd (246)2x milking, been over 40kg the past 3 weeks. Shame about milk price 😔

Great to see facebook.com/HallonHolstein… making an appearance in British Dairying this month! Showcasing how attention to detail pays off in high yielding herds.

If people could research 1 thing related to calves what would it be? By September I need an MSc thesis idea. I know I want to do it on calves & have a few ideas but I want to do something worth while... not a text book lit review thesis. Ideas anyone? #TeamDairy #CalfChat
