Popped into the farm shop on Sunday. My boy said "are you going to be a fan boy if you see Tom, SO EMBARRASSING" he then bought a hat and said "can't believe I'm going to meet a real youtuber". Had to explain that it was a working farm and you might not be there. Then saw a black lab taking a lady for a walk and I think it was your Mrs P but she disappeared quick, probably because she was avoiding sad fan boys like me. Shout out to the young lass serving the breakfast barms. She was just about to give us ours when she apologised and said she didn't think the sausages were right and didn't want to serve us them. Shows she takes her quality control and customer service seriously. Bacon was lovely as was our first raw milk purchase. Honeycomb milkshake was delicious. The goats outside your mums window were super friendly too. I couldn't hang around because my curiosity wanted me to be naughty and start exploring the farm and our motorhome was blocking your car park. Lytham and St Annes were lovely towns too.

Hi Tom. Have you considered using Heat Detector Patches/Scratchies? They're super common in Australia, but cows aren't housed like your cows are. We apply them at the start of AI. Once cows are AI'd, we run a roll of paint over them in the AI race. Then during milking, all we have to do is look for scratched detectors to know who has been on heat since the last AI. They come in lots of different colors so you can always reapply a new color at the end of your first cycle so you can tell which cows are apart of what groups. Have to spend a bit of time to apply them initially, but makes it easy for all employees to see heats. I guess it won't determine whats been mounted by a bull or just another cow though.

When I worked at my relatives' dairy, they kept the cows in two groups. The one group was the older cows that wouldn't catch with AI, so they always kept a bull with that group. They also had an electronic sorting gate when they exited the parlor, so when we were milking and we saw a problem we could enter into a keypad that would put them in a holding pen for a better check. The farmer could also pick cows that he wanted to AI beforehand and they would be put in the holding pen as well. The funniest thing was it was a rotary parlor and the bull was shorter then the rest of the cows. He liked going around for a ride and would usually be the first one on and last one off. He would duck under the push bar and we had to back him off at the end. It was always a bit of a surprise when you were in a groove and you look up to find there was something other then an udder before you.

Try a sack, close weave, that can be strapped to the bulls chest. Fill the sack with cotton wadding and string line chalk, your colour choice. You can make the part of the sack that contacts the bulls chest out of leather or canvas, so that the chalk only goes outwards towards the cows rump.

Talk about thinking outside the box! As a stop gap method while all the changes are going on I reckon your decision was nothing short of genius! Glad to see you managed to wash off the residue dude.

You might want to check out the sheepishly me channel. Sandi uses a livestock marking paint on her ewes butts. They spray a thick coating on before putting the rams in. The ewes with smeared paint are the ones being bred. The rams doing the breeding will get that paint transferred to their chest. More paint transfer=more action. I would imagine it would be a lot easier to rattle can it on than what you just did. It would be fairly easy to reapply every few days as needed. Change the color weekly and you’ll have a good idea of which week the cow was bred.
