Number of cows, milk supplied, when you get the cows out, who cuts their silage 1st, who finishes calving 1st. It's all competition, profit is only a by-product.

Have to say though, when I think about myself and my nearest dairy neighbours - we all do things differently. I don't see any one of us being rushed into cutting grass before we decided it was time. We all appear to have different ideas about what we think is the best scale for our businesses. We each spend different amounts of time on similar operations, presumably depending on what we think is efficient or best use of time. Yes we notice some of what each other does. That can't be helped. But at the end of the day we do our own thing.

We keep a close eye on the neighbours................... and then do the exact opposite.

First one
Personally I'd go for the one that looks better/stronger, but I'm not really into pedigree breeding
