Id have thought like our selfs anyone going into something new what ever it might be thinks about these things before doing it. Its abit belittling to think someone wouldn't have thought about everything. Dont get me wrong I'm very appreciative of any help be it positive or negative, you need someone sometimes to show you the both sides of things. But im 27 so hopefully have enough life left in me and like I've said before every farm is totally different, what works for one farm won't necessarily work for others. Unfortunately now i don't think there's anything that someone will do new will be cheap, if it cost X and you keep to a budget then so be it, theres nothing you can do about it, like i said NVZ is forcingour hand in the next year we are going to have to do something be it stick with the beef and put up a new slatted shed or change into dairy. From my point of view its just return on investment i cant see the returns on sucklers. Trust me my dad would love me to forget about this idea he hates the thought of borrowing so much, but we have a consultant doing some sums and so are we and if it doesn't add up then we wont be doing it, but from what we are seeing atm it's more than do able ON THE RIGHT PRICE (and im not doing my sums on £0.50 ), but obviously have to think about what or when milk prices falls where would we be then, and obviously if it dropped to let say 24p then we'd be in the shitter! But id think many others would be too. Id hate to look back in 10 years time and think we should have done...
Out of interest what price are you putting into your budgets?
