Have you sat down and costed each portion of your business? See what profit each produces and maybe look at ditching the least profitable to ease the workloadSeveral reasons, so I may only have 80 milkers but I have 150 sheep and another 200 cattle as well, we do all our own silage and cultivations and put our own sheds up, do all our own concreting etc
The problem with milking is, if I have to be back at half 4 every day it doesnt give me very long in the afternoon to get stuff done, especially if I'm at dads place as it's a 45 minute round trip there and back with a tractor, so only have a couple of hours in the afternoon to get mowing done or whatever else I need to do, I also cant milk any later due to our collection time, plus as much as I love milking it would be nice to have a break once a week, currently done just under 13 milkings a week ever since we started up, and that 1 evening a week is spent racing around trying to get stuff done
