    Many people looking at kgsMS per HA as a kpi? Would be one of the more important ones here for finding the limit of our grazing block. Hit about 800kgMs last yr, I'd expect to be just over 900 this year, once the heifers go off the milking block I'd hope to get it quickly up to at least 1400. Could easily achieve it with the feed lorry's and bought in maize, but should be achievable with mostly grass and likes of 600kg feed/cow

    I think that is on a rotary and the chains are for a cow that wasn't milked out and goes around for another spin.
