Milking in Muddy Conditions
With much of the Gippsland region awash over recent weeks, milking itself is proving a challenge. Milk quality is a concern as well as animal health issues.
Milking takes time and patience - something that many local farmers are running out of after the extremely challenging set of conditions this season.
This Dairy Australia fact sheet may be of help in working through some concerns. In addition, The Countdown Down Under web site may help.
A herd test is always an option to assist in identifying problem cows and treating them as required.
