So the idea is you invest in a robot, a tank and 60 cows and the job basically manages itself with nothing else to bother about.......
Is that bit about Graham true, that they will only take on father and son businesses?
you missed feeding them off the list, but the Boss will have that sorted
yeah, he says they can be grazed around the steading. Simples.
@Cowmangav said successor, nothing about father and son.................. ...
possible theres grahams down at stirling and some guys up here team together and take milk further, just looking into whether its feasable before i waste milk buyers time discussing contracts
could be the wrong wording the idea would be to start with one robot and if its working out get rid of sucklers and go all in
yes
Of course it is feasible, the only decision is for you to take, do you want to do it?
a very good question, a grant would make all the difference
no the cows would of course need all year round attention but a manageable number, robot would greatly reduce workload though especially at silage/harvest and sowing time
is the grazing system more profitable with a small number such as 60 than keeping them in and pushing with concentrates/
if its going to be a good earner it must be considered say i could turnover 120k with 60 cows on grazing system i should be looking at about 40k net profit?
