The Quintrell Herd is a 200 head, pedigree, Spring Block calving herd,
with an emphasis on the block calving as the whole herd is dry in Febuary!
We need our down time just like the cows!
Yields to December 2011 are 5284 litres at 5.36% and 3.75%
61% (3224 litres) of this from grazed forage
The rest from just 1.25 tonnes of high ME (14) concentrate fed to yield in the parlour.
This leads to a Margin Over Purchased Feeds of 25.67ppl.
We have a conception rate to 1st service of 60% and a calving interval of 374 days

In addition the 200 milking herd at Quintrell includes some 70 heifers, and milkers cover up to 3 miles a day walking to the furthest fields and back.

Average bactoscan of 26 and cell count of 96.

We are proud suppliers of Milk Link and Tenants of Cornwall County Council's largest farm.
