Signpost: Making the most of the mild weather

The dry and mild weather is providing great comfort for getting slurry out

February has been a very busy month so far with 29 cows calved since January 30. 

Thankfully calving is going well and there are only 14 cows and a heifer left to calve. Only three calves had to be stomach tubed for peace of mind that they were fed, but most are getting up and suckling themselves which is great to see.
