Talk about first world problems!
Need some kind of military helicopter to get my sh!t out!

Ditto!

What was the price per standing for the total build? I may have a opportunity as of today, but it needs a parlour ( ex dairy farm, not milked since they lost cow's to f and m 2001, just need a rough figure, last parlour we put I was 08 so a bit out of date.

There was a post doing the rounds of a new 16/32 being installed for 70k which was quite frightening so maybe say 100k for the parlour work by the time you get it how you want it?

20/40 acrs basic waikato, family member is currently putting in a GEA 20/40 for 350k, I haven't seen it yet to see how much of that total is for extra building and nothing to do with the parlour

Doctor could probably give you some tablets for that…

I don’t think the parlour in the picture will be representative of what you’ll get!
Check very carefully what you’ll get, I got caught out when I first bought my parlour, the pulsation used to freeze up in cold weather, changed it to some second hand pulsation, an extra cost not needed.

No first cycle I've seen, there's not a lot that's cheap in my tank...

If you think she's bulling then crack on. If you're not sure I'd mark it down as heat and go again in 3 weeks. Shes milking well so no harm in letting her go.

Did you buy that 2nd hand one?

I remember going as a kid. Was fascinating as a child who wasn’t off a farm
