Our yield per cows been down a bit most of the winter but the fat has been usually over 4.5% which is pretty decent for an all Holstein herd. Last winters winter kill left most all our hay fields instead of mostly lush alfalfa and 16-20% protein to Timothy and weeds and 10-12% protein. This winters been bad for bare ground and ice the last 6 weeks so we have enough corn seed ordered in case we need it to jump 50% in acreage over last year with 40% ordered being BMR. For whatever reason and we'll take it the yield per cow is up 2-3 kg/cow but our MUN in the milk tank is still only 9 (milk urea nitrogen,way to test if your cows are getting a balanced diet,like to see MUN between 12-15) so I don't think the silage changed. Be interesting to see with the extra yield how much percent fat well loose. We culled a few and dried a group off and milkings average came up and the tank never really dropped even though we're down 5+ cows in the tank this week. Have 2-3 getting close to calving right away.

Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
