[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7608773, member: 86168"] it's quite a shock sometimes, when you realise that old girl, never a problem, is an oap. The ones that give problems, go. Our processor is starting down the carbon foot print line, one question is, av age of dairy, the older that is, more points, followed by, age at first calving, then sexed semen, dairy bull calves etc. We haven't had any problem with fh bull calves, more fr than ho, selling them private, to repeat customers, even took the few jerx, and paid £30 each ! But this is the road we will all have to follow, unless events alter that, and we will have to adapt, it's pretty obvious that euthanising calves at birth, doesn't sit well with the public, nor does milking cows being bred to give huge volumes of milk, but don't last long, egged on by those, who claim they are pumped full of drugs. The vision many people have about farming, is not what actually happens, but, they are the people that buy our product, and we should not ignore them. [/QUOTE]
