Say 30 cows x €12 per straw = €360, €200 for Nitrogen, Flask cost €550/15 years = €37, cost of Ai course €350??/15 = €23
Cost per year = €620 per year.

Ai technician
30 cows x €31 = €930 per year

These figures are a bit rough but not too far out I think.

Good point.
Is it €200 for the year, so €50 per fill!
As you point out, benifical for the medium to large operator.

I got stuck for ages with one in Ulster. Bloody Tyrone. Still vaguely remember the rota we reeled them off in from the spelling books in first/second class. 1.09 seconds left on my timer anyway. That was fun!

Tanko, would you AI many in a year, would love to do an AI course but feel I would not get enough practice in any given year to be any good at it. As they say practice makes perfect!!

She had pre calver lick buckets with her for the last 6 weeks.
We have a few strong calves on teat feeders that we will put on her twice a day for the moment.
Her calf is knuckling over on his fore legs. OH got him to suck lying down last night but is struggling with his this morning as he is trying to stand.

Maybe they could merge with the Garda drugs squad and eliminate the drugs problem, with all the powers they have it would only take a few weeks.

Good stuff..

Some bag of milk on her, looks like she could feed a small army of calves

Absolute uproar in the shed earlier, could hear it from the house here so went down to check. Cow trying her absolute best to climb through the barrier as her calf was out leaping round the field with the twins. I've had all my exercise for today chasing after her, had to rugby tackle her in the end and stuck a rope over her head :pac:

Someone tell Charliebull. And say there are 2 hookers playing as well.
