They built 70point Dairymaster in Pembs in 4/5 days I think
Well if they poured the deck and started fitting the rotary straight away they are brave men indeed.

Spot on (apart from the dairy master bit), only 8 rotations.
What about adding a few more units to your current parlour?Do you think I've got time to build a 54 bale rotary before February?

Is that because your pushing back your calving date?
It’s an impressive build and it wasn’t cheap that for sure.
How are you planning on doing it with your 2 herds? 3 people working in rotation to keep them all sharp? Or 1 person fetch 2 people milk

I have pushed it back a bit, we don't start until Feb 20th but that's late enough, I'm thinking of going a week earlier with breeding this year.
I should have a 160ha grazing platform in 2019, I could just do with a few more units on the parlour.

Is that a usual start time for a spring calving herd in your region?
How is that justified with only a 650 cow herd?
I don't think it has to be justified, he can afford it and I bet it makes him happyParlours are much bigger over here as people don’t want to milk all day. Think these are mostly run with family labour. But honest answer I don’t know. But money makes money that’s for sure.
Wasn't he on tv during the crisis?I don't think it has to be justified, he can afford it and I bet it makes him happy

Perhaps moaning and whinging makes him happy tooYes he was
Yes he was
So perhaps justification wasn't so easyWas on with this guy, one comment was he was " not sure they would last the next three months"
I would suggest that there is perhaps more to it than we knowSo perhaps justification wasn't so easy
