    Larry doesn't care that its one cow

    Are you a suckler? from a dairy point of view we have found that repeat offenders never clear up properly

    no. just the dry cow tubes this time last year every scc test was over 400,000:rolleyes: now they very rarely go over 250,000 mostly under 200,000 all summer but has gone up a bit with cows going stale and fresh cows coming in. I also got the acr's serviced
