Normal duties at the farm today consisting of;
- Feeding the young heifers with milk and small cake which contains all the vital nutrients for their growth.
- Feeding the weaned heifers who are now not on milk with a mixture of small and big cake which helps them get used to the larger version of their feed so they will be ready to move onto this as they get older.
- Changing the bedding of five of the pens containing roughly 20-30 heifers in each. In this we used coarse straw that is good for absorption to help keep their pens cleaner for longer.
- Feeding the older heifers with large cake.
- Feeding heifers that are currently bulling and serving them using AI
- General cleaning out and lookering around his fields
