[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8046082, member: 86168"] our herd was not pretty, when we went back into milk, 3/4, big bags, old cows, xbeef, at one stage we had 17 different x's/pure. But they were cheap, they put milk in the tank, with the added advantage of a buyer that only complained about cc when it went over 1000 in the tank, not that fussy over b/s either. We were never anywhere near those figures, but some were, and when they stopped, transferred us to another processor, who point blank refused to take some on. But it was a cheap ( very ) way to get back in, dearest 'proper' cow bought to start, was £800. Moooved a long way since then, but the cheaper the cost of milk, into tank, the better it is. just thought about cow prices, even last year, you could pick up i/c mid lac cows pretty cheap, no longer, ours last week, av £1500. Cheapest l ever bought around £300. When we sold originally, the herd av £350, and that was a good price then ! [/QUOTE]
