50k over 70 cows is £700/head

@7000 litres she's making 10p/litre

What do Tesco pay, about 29ppl? So her COP would have to be 19ppl. That's quite doable but its not sustainable, i only skim read the article but i doubt that includes her wages, knock 30k off for her and it only leaves 20k which is still better than many but doesn't leave a lot for reinvestment.
