We do two things: review our cost-structure, and consider whether we ought to cease production (fallow for the corn boys, like they do in Canada, or more sheep for the beef herds).
The feature which differentiates dairy herds is their single-minded determination to carry on and, in many cases, to expand production (and borrow money with which to do so).
Is this 'resilience'?
Or are we still watching the death throes of the MMB?
If you carry far too many sheep on your ground at the expense of keeping cattle the land will in time end up sheep sick!! the arable sector has the problem of BG which is because the land has been on continuous corn for far too many years.. long term mixed farming will make a comeback no doubt!
