Which bit of the business is pulling it back ??All the local gossips have us getting rid of all our cows!
The lad that helps us asked if he would still have a job.
News to us.
Haven't even had the discussion yet. Have 700 acres of arable, so that should support them and keep our heads above water. Crops look fantastic, but that's mainly because cut back on fert and put cattle muck on everything. So mixed farming works. Not that, that will be news to most on this thread.
If it continues losing money long term changes will be made. Hope to see out the storm for now.
That's the problem though in my opinion. People like us willing to subsidise beef with income from other parts of business. We need everyone to cut back and reduce supply. As simple as that.
I thought you outwinterd your cows on stubbles and stores and fat always seem to be good prices with home grown feed ??
Hope things improve for you
