    Concerning conception rates one consideration is "silent heats" ..cattle cycle but we might miss signs such as clear discharges and then the bleed off sign. Ironically, being behind the cows constantly in my comfort stall barn of 45 milkers, you can watch more closely as they as they are in your face whether it be hoeing shit or during milking and chore time. When they drool clear fluid it's a great sign. Your free stall set up is great, no doubt.
    Just sharing that insight.
    Peace
    Walking behind and amongst the cattle routinely when working in free stall operation as herdsman I spent all time with cattle naturally observing for signs of heat as the comfort stall experience proved. Consider that I focused on cattle only.
    You're a crop and machinery expert and you are superb farmer.

    I really like how much you value each cow, they're not just objects to be replaced when they fail to meet expectations. Your way of farming makes me happy, thank you

      Well it eventually put you out of work we have rules here no matter what 1 bring a calf to the pen each year 2 all cows calve on there own 3 when we call they come 4 good feet and legs for traveling. We have few problems with conception rates because the best stay here and if they don't want to be here we sure don't want them. We have easy keepers and they are out year round with zero issues I know it's different with dairy but some of it is a bit ridiculous. I think cattle should be breathing fresh air year round but that's my opinion

      Yeah, he's good!!! And he has so many wonderful suggestions about how to do things easier and more efficiently. Now, I'm not mentioning that he is also a Cavan-man in the same sentence as cost effective, mind you, but that's a reality too. He has a world of experience and a wonderful way of sharing what he knows-a natural teacher! Thank you again, Adrian. Another excellent video! I like the gold touch on the merch!

    How’re things Adrian. We had the exact same issue Struggling for yeas to get to the bottom of the issue. 3 years ago was the tipping point had just over 50 cows empty for 3 conservative years . I changed a few things but minerals were my biggest change I put every animal on a mineral program just like my vacation one and get mineral annualises done on both my silage and cows to get a per calving mineral blended. Also during the milking session in have all my nuts blended to a mineral spec just for my issues . Better breathing was also done picking higher fertility bulls for the cows . 3 years on my last scan returned 16 empty animals I’m now down to 8 percent back from the mid 30’s to low 40’s. In fertility is a huge issue on farms and from what I feel farmers are afraid to mention it as it might be a bad reflection on there management skills but instead it’s issues out for there control that are just hard to grasp. Love the videos lad 👍👍

    I started doing a pre breeding scan a few years ago to identify cows that were either dirty, not cycling or cystic, I also done blood test on random 10 cows and pool the sample at the start of breeding to identify the mineral status of herd at that point in time as status will fluctuate over the course of the year, blood for disease is recommended if now vaccinating much, a good pre calving mineral is the foundation to a good breeding season usually better to get it formulated to suite your herd rather than buying a one size fits all off the shelf, I found BLF nutrition in Carlow invaluable and so helpful a family run company formulating minerals
