I hear Mike Gallacher the guy who turned round FM has taken a non exec directors post at NMR
Given that he is a turn around expert, why would he join NMR ?

As a first milk member I don't acknowledge him as a turnaround expert. Anyone can turn a business around if they can decide how much or indeed how little to pay suppliers. Since he left fm, some fairly major staff reductions have taken place which he should have seen to. Sorry for going off topic, but the guy is over rated, just another parasite on the executive/director merry go round

LIC have bought 20% of NMR perhaps he is there to help them shake things up a bit ?
Mike Gallacher is a specialist at turning round failing businesses and leads form the front, not the kind of guy to take a back seat !
While I agree with @Big_D and @cattow we would have been in a worse place without him, if the pratts that got us into that mess were left to get us out of it.
With him its his way or the Highway and he would need to be in control, so I would be surprised @lazy farmer if its not more than to shake things up !! When are NMR accounts out ?

I recorded with NMR for twenty years before getting totally p**d off with their high handed attitude and repeated inefficiencies. Changed to CIS, and they were much better, in my experience.
I've never been sure why, when milk producing has been in the doldrums, and failing to make money, there should be such profits in measuring it???

When you phone CIS the person who answers it deals with your enquiry
When I phone NMR and select one of the many options, the person answering sends an email for some-one to get back to me

We're with NMR and our milk recorder has been coming here for nearly 30 years. The day she retires I think I'll move to QMMS. I don't want anything to do with CIS/HUK.

That's just for them to get information for their marketing purposes

Not if the meeting I had with them around my kitchen table was anything to go by

So is that a reflection on their bulls or our rankings.
As a milk producer who sells a fair few newly calved heifers I sincerely hope LIC capture a far greater share of the UK cattle semen market.
Win win!
Ive met some lovley lic reps, so I would buy there bulls.
Is that a good enough reason to buy a certain bull?

Lic breed cows to live at pasture with low live wieght and good pasture based fertility. In a shed they get fat and have high cells
