Successful dairy farming is all about doing the little things right

Successful dairy farming generally results from carrying out ordinary tasks on the farm correctly rather than any major new innovation or expensive changes.

At this time of the year, many dairy farmers are inclined to relax after a long year and may overlook important jobs. But a little extra effort now will be well rewarded in the longer term.

Fortunately due to modernisation of farmyards and winter accommodation layouts many farmers have more time to concentrate on management tasks rather than spending most of their time pushing slurry and feeding animals.
