I’ll hazard a guess that it wasn’t the boss man being shafted!so even though his cell count is very low at 1, he will be still getting shafted, that jobs no better than the rest of farming
yeah at the start that maybe, but he will be getting shaft now, like i said bit like farmingI’ll hazard a guess that it wasn’t the boss man being shafted!
Did the "staff" have to wear sheepskin coats to entice the locals?There is only one sort of parlour that really made money on the Island & one of near neighbour ran it.
Halfway through his 10 year term as I type
Our milk buyer has a farm identical to this they swop three artic trailes around on a 8 hour basis, apparently they are expanding further, sending 65-70000 a day currentlyMaybe @Dead Rabbits can explain more but visits to the US I have seen tanker trailers parked outside large dairies where the milk goes in already cold,sub 3 degrees, and sits and waits for the haulier to bring another trailer to swap a roo. No need for fixed storage on farm, or would only work for large scale units but isnt that a viable option?
I've no idea on the cost of a tanker v an on farm silo? Any ideas?
16 quid ,thats a lot ,10 to 12 hereYou’d be surprised what people pay! That is about £12.50 /hour. A herdsman will earn a lot more than that, indeed a building labourer is costing me £16/ hour atm!

Bet the dairy maids were busy, carrying the churns to the dairy away from the hand milkers on 3 legged stools to fill themWhy stop at one?

I don't know insulated these are? The places that had them would often be filling one every couple of hours, not every other day.
28,000 litres, behind a tractor, surely even in Anglesey that is a trifle overloadedTractor towed yes. Less than 30 mins in to dairy and could haul 28000 litres every other day. Say 2 hour round trip including off load and wash out. Could pick our time too (for a premium if they want it after midnight )
Not a massive issue but the local collection only has 18000 litre tankers so having to part load every other day which can be a minor nuisance as we need to insert a T piece so they can collect if we’re milkng

Not quite big enough to have their own dairy though! Needs more than their input to fill a dairy, same thing worldwide I guess.That’s how the big boys do it. We are small time compared to any of that.
All about skill set.Not quite big enough to have their own dairy though! Needs more than their input to fill a dairy, same thing worldwide I guess.
My point is , it's not all about size as a micro dairy with a specialist product marketed well can be extremely profitable.Maybe, glad I’m in a cooperative, ARLA.
