    Just wondered with declining numbers of milk producers..... I'm spending a week in Suffolk, and haven't seen any cattle, let alone a dairy cow. Any herds in this part of the UK?

    Milk & More

    I buy doorstep milk - my roundsman has recently changed his supplier, and I'm having difficulty finding where this milk is sourced and processed. Can anyone help? On the foil cap it does have UKHO 010 EC - but no processing site, just Milk & More.

    When does a heifer become a cow?

    On farm today - and still calling a 2nd calver, a heifer. Conversation was very confusing..............our definitions of a "heifer" were totally different! In my terms, as soon as a heifer has calved/1st calf, she becomes a cow. How about you?

    Genus shares

    ....seem to be tumbling. Down 60p today. They've been a good earner over the last few years reaching over £15/share. Today they will finish close to £10/share. Anyone draw any light as to why? Should I be reinvesting at today's end of day price, or do you expect them to fall further?
