The main task now is to get the cows back on track after a tough spring

Sean Moher: 'If a vet has to see a cow, she won’t get a Friesian straw, as we find the chance of getting back in calf here is around 30%.'

The final preparations are in place for the upcoming breeding season. I’ll up the mineral specifications on the nuts ahead of April 26, when we are planning to start.

We have picked the bulls for breeding which are high EBI and high DBI. Sire advice has been completed and this has been sent to the technician’s handheld device.
