The milkers, 65 late lactation adult cows and 30 newly calved 2yr olds, are grazing quite laxly and the dry cows are cleaning up the after the milkers. The advantages of a dry cow clean-up are that the dry cows are being fed, and they can bring the residue down to an ideal level. If not carefully managed, the risk is that the residue may be taken too low and the regrowth from plant reserves is being eaten off, setting the plant back in its recovery.MDF Fortnightly Update 499 2019-08-02
