Hi Richard contented cows give most milk,great video again.

[@yorkshirefarming]

@@KeithHill-wc3ew Keith they definitely do. Keeping them tight on feed and constantly pushing them around doesn’t. They just love to be left alone to do their own thing. Cows amaze us every day. The behaviour is fascinating. 😄

Great video again, a diet feeder would cost to start with but the amount of feed saved and the possible increase in milk through them having a correct balance maintenance diet would help pay for the feeder. Also would save silage and goes further. Can’t you buy a longer neck for slurry tank to spray it further. Isn’t the maize used by shoots to feed there birds and for them to shelter in ?

[@bobcrawford2105]

Feeder wagon Will it improve the mixing of feed which could improve output but at what cost , Wagon / tractor to pulling it depreciation/ maintenance costs

[@yorkshirefarming]

@@bobcrawford2105 That has always been our concern about the running costs. They would, wit the correct diet definitely improve out put. We think we would need +3 lts/cow to just cover the cost before it starts to pay for its self. Cows would definitely benefit from a well balanced diet. It’s down to number crunching

[@bobcrawford2105]

@ would save time in your daily routine. Time is money

[@yorkshirefarming]

@ yes that is also true. It’s, are we a large enough farm to justify a diet feeder. I personally would love to try one over the winter to get a better feel for it. Maybe I can find a cheap second hand one somewhere. But maybe buy someone’s problems

Ai keep the cow .

[@yorkshirefarming]

Simon. Yes we will give the cow a fighting chance. We will monitor her. Hopefully she will get stronger again.
