Got Milk?
Some days I get so fed up of living on an organic farm

[QUOTE="regolith, post: 880562, member: 9267"] I store feed at the house, where the rats are somewhat under control. Lost probably 50% of every bag I took to the calfshed to rats and birds before it even got to the calf trough, which makes very expensive feed. It's pointless baiting rats while rearing calves, because they eat the milk dung. Right now the calves are all out and that's what the rats are doing - hanging around the dairy picking up any bits of milkfat or curd that end up on the floor. I may bring up some calf feed to tempt them, but I did rather hope they'd just dive into a bucket of milk. The ones at the house I fed scraps and bread to for several weeks before putting poison out.
