Heifers Are Coming Home! Feeling Like Winter Mode Now

They always come back to the farm at the start of May generally around the 1st, but its good to get them back, and send the 19 calves that I have had on farm all summer the other way

[@michelkramm590]

Pinetree is one of the best Holstein and Jersey herds in the us

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

[@willyfindlay4398]

Lovely to see your heffers coming back from Mervs. Love how you two farms got together through your haulier.

[@peasant5612]

Funny , last october I needed a new grazier quickly as mating was about to start. Rang my stock transporter, he gave me a couple numbers .
They're the ones that know lol

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

They’re always in the know 👌

[@johnjordan4647]

Using Aussie bulls Andrew have you forgotten the Bledisloe. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Just joking good to see an injection of new genetics into the herd

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Haha they haven’t seen the bledisloe in a while 😅

[@peasant5612]

Yip same here, heifers came back 1st if May. I had 4 at or over 400kg on the 30th March though. Mine are freisians and Ayrshire. Heaviest was an Ayrshire 417kg lol

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Anything over 400 is good aye

[@peasant5612]

@@TheOnceADayFarmer yes makes a difference

[@trishaking4970]

See you at Fieldays

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yes definitely 👌👍

[@almamun6192]

Hello, can I go to NZ as dairy farm manager? Do u need any dairy farm specialist?

[@fisherh9111]

Can you move the trailer a bit while they’re still eating to spread the damage?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

More work but could do 👍

[@Gearoid35]

Ground getting wet winter on the way

[@thomasmiles-wj2ug]

What exactly is the feed youre giving the heifers Andrew ? Not familiar with the name p k ! What woyld be the equivelant in Wales ? Great vid😊

[@OOpSjm]

Palm Kernel Extract (Palm Oil by-product) Just a dry matter protein supplement.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yep just palm kernel 👍

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I think you can get it over there??

[@fisherh9111]

How many head to the acre on the grazing patches?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

There’s 77 in the heifer mob 👍

[@canalroadadventures5079]

Please explain the reason for the movements.

[@trevorstewart8]

The calves and heifers are non-producing as yet, so a burden on the amount of grazing available. Taking them off farm leaves more grass for the milking herd and less headaches for Andrew.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Trevor summed it up perfectly.
I send young stock off which means I can milk more cows 👍

[@ricardobalboa4674]

Heifer are coming home from where?

[@peasant5612]

From the Grazier , Merv. He's got videos on his visits to see the heifers

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

They come from my grazier about 30 mins away on otorohanga

[@KiwiJim13]
