All things Dairy

[Rossymons]

Indeed, you in Ireland now Ross ?

I am.

Drinks break on the 2nd day.

1st day was hard going. Dry subject matters and the speakers weren't overly engaging. I'm sure round a table in the pub it would be different. Take home message for me was don't suffer from policy drift which is something we have suffered from recently. Compounded by having a strong milk price I need to correct this. A decent take home message.

Evening dinner was good and the networking and speaking to many people from all 4 corners of the world has been very interesting. I was sat next a 10,000l housed AYR chap - I think he got the wrong flight.

This morning session was the best so far on labour hours used and reducing them. Sounds like I have capacity to reduce hours from 30/cow to 25/cow and that is a reasonable aim. Coming up later we have sessions on people management, breeding and business management delivering €3000/ha profit.

This has been Ross Symons reporting for TFF, back to you in the studio.

Interesting stuff, but have we found out if Beefy can drink his own body volume in Bacardi?

Tia Maria and milk. Please don't buy me a coconut based drink.

I knew as soon as I posted it I’d got wrong ! Good job I didn’t last night!

I'm choking for a pint, I'd nearly be tempted to drive down to cork for the night.

Are you calving out there now? There's not a lot of greenery in that photo. It looks like you're in for a cold few days.

Tomorrow's job is to fill this.

Yeah started a week before Christmas. Not too many growing degree days. Thus far it's looking a proper winter.
