Happy new year to yourself. Love a clear out, what bulls are the heifers off that’s coming this time.
Question for the spring calvers who rear their own heifers, how many calves to the acre? Obviously as they grow they'll need more and will depend on grass growth too, but say august/September how many/acre? They would be born february/March
I've got a nice 12acre block which is being fenced soon I'm hoping, was planning on doing a first cut and then grazing with calves, all hybrid grass, ph is 6.5 etc. Can cut any extra grass that happens to be there as and when needed through the summer, was thinking 50 should be about right for august/september? Rotationally grazed split into 1 acre paddocks for 2 days a time
Thankyou, I'm always worried I just come across as though I'm moaning I do like what I'm doing, honest...@Jdunn55 always nice reading your posts and enthusiasm for the job.
None of my business but your post the other day about hoping to be able to bring in big numbers of heifers in a years time got me thinking. Could be worth telling the accountant your plans, a bit of advice/forward planning regarding stock valuations and tax implications of upping numbers might be worth thinking on. Had a sore year getting mine to match when I took over a few years back....
All budgeted for at £1000/heifer (would be more if I was including my Labour but I'm free at present ) we had to extend the overdraft a couple of months ago in order to accommodate for the expansion but that was all planned when we applied for the loan and gave the business plan to my bank manager, the only issue being that at the time I hadn't allowed for feetiliser to quadruple in price along with everything else fingers crossed the milk price will make up the differencebig numbers of y/s, can hit cash flow hard. Worth bearing in mind, and as above, a bit of advice, might be worthwhile. Fine if all budgeted in properly.
What @Happy at it was alluding to is the tax man will want another 250 on top of the £1000 as they will go down on the balance sheet and increase profit. However it will be paid over 2 years and not paid until 23 and 24All budgeted for at £1000/heifer (would be more if I was including my Labour but I'm free at present ) we had to extend the overdraft a couple of months ago in order to accommodate for the expansion but that was all planned when we applied for the loan and gave the business plan to my bank manager, the only issue being that at the time I hadn't allowed for feetiliser to quadruple in price along with everything else fingers crossed the milk price will make up the difference

Regarding the accountant that's a good idea, thankyou, I have absolutely no idea about tax so definitely need to speak to someone who does! Probably need to find an accountant first
