Hi we are a family run dairy farm in the Halifax area and may be able to help we have a lot of students and work experience come to us. If you could provide a little more info on what your looking for and we’ll go from there.

we are looking for GEA/westfaila out of parlour feed stations plus some transponders if anyone has any to sell or knows where they might be some. Thank you

Thank you. We have fed a lot of the squares from last year they are of good quality. Going to feed 1 of the rounds to dry cows tomorrow see what they are like. As with any hay/haylage we sell if not happy we exchange it anyway. We won't use them as got rid of all our young stock so it all helps...

We are in Halifax West Yorkshire and it would be going to Rochdale

i know this is a touchy subject but here goes. As we haven't sold any silage off farm for years we have no idea of prices. We sell haylage but that's different not farmer to farmer. We have round third, cut made in good conditions also have some 2nd cut big squares from last year. Only asking...

Good luck getting it ready on time. Take some juggling toddlers n lambs!! Let us all know how u get on. Fingers crossed

Hi. Did u manage to get a tender application done in time? Where abouts are the farms you was trying for? Applied once myself so far didn't get to interview but got some poistive feed back so hopefully help me next time.

Thanks for the link these look a very good firm and look like they travel.

Thank you. We did go to one such meeting a couple of months back which was very good. We had a meeting with one of the solicitor's they suggested to us but found she was more connected to the legal process and we no where near that bit yet. Still need basic answers yet. Worst people and subject...

Does anybody on here know of a good company/person to help with getting the dreaded succession talk going? We are based in West Yorkshire. Any help would be gratefull. It's not going too well at moment think some mediation and professional guidance would help get the ballrolling. Thank you

It is a possibility as long as you present a plan that works n your lucky enough to get the farm. As I'd be moving in to the area I don't have the contact to try put that in to place. They are charging nearly £13000 for fixed equipment like the parlour. Which if u wasn't interested in milking at...

It is something I'd thought about and looked in to. But with only 80 acres of land and 2 years to convert didn't think it would stack up in the short term. If they offered 25 year leases might of been a option.

No it is all pretty sound. I'd tendered for it 2 years ago but was ultimately out done on a conservative bid by myself. Could of got a contract then at 29p. Now look. The man who got it has done ok as he is already moving off to a bigger unit. Which maybe bad as the council might be expecting...

Which company does the FM stand for? Thank you

That is my mind set on the situation just got to ride it out if got a contract.
