no chance of ever making that with sucklersWith a milk price of 35 ppl there will be some people pushing towards a profit of £1000 cow let alone gross margin.
Personally still a bit to go.

its more cost effective to buy 2 at once apparentlyBuy 1 robot and enough cows for it and give it a try, keep us informed on your journey.
Buy 20 robots thenfrom what ive seen the larger dairies seem to get contracts easier and better priced ones
Well buy 2 then and enough cows for 2 and give it a shot.its more cost effective to buy 2 at once apparently
Boss man, found a cow to base your figures on. Stick her milk price @35ppl, easily achievable with good constituents, get those robots bought View attachment 592290
Neat summary, You would make a fortune as a robot salesmanvery impressive am i right in saying its 130k per robot? lets say 15% extra then since uve improved conditions too, that would give an extra 1350l per cow which at 25ppl and 55 cows per robot it an extra £18,562 income per robot, one man per 100 cows saved at £25,000 a year is £13,750 added to the £18,562 gives £29,612, call it a 6 year payback including interest??
It is a completely different market for milk products over here, but your post neatly sums it up.Don't go telling folk that!
Tis a bit odd mind.
Folk get out of dairy, then go into beef and complain there is no money to be made????
There will be people leaving the world of dairy, as the prospect of reinvestment or retirement looms. The majority of people I know are very committed and endured the last era of low milk prices because they knew the cream would be coming to offset it.
