For many years I have worked with jersey cows. 2 years ago I came to work on an 180 cow high yielding herd averaging 11500 litres within this time here I have improved the SCC to 160 from 260 plus bacto to 10/20 from 30 plus. Having worked along milkrite interpuls in forwarding the farm and now using there clusters exchange service we have seen many benefits, reduction in vet bills time saving and happier cows earlier 18 months ago milkrite wrote a blog on the success that myself and them have achieved with this herd I would always be happy to send a copy of the article, for me this was a massive achievement having turned the farm around and being noticed for doing so.
