[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8116671, member: 86168"] its not good news at all, and there's other sales besides that. And presumably its not just Kivells and N&B, One things for certain, it will be a leaner dairy industry, in 12 months time. Perhaps for those of us that remain, it will be a good thing, with both barren cows, and milk short, makes one wonder what is actually happening out there. Exeter friday, any good cows made good prices, but the rest made the auctioneers work hard, and some went home, unsold. And 1 chap, that's been selling, started buying again. The number of dairy farms, around us, that have gone, over the years, tells the story of the decline of small farms, scary how many of those farms, are now houses. One wonders when the money, to buy all the cows, on the mkt, because there is private treaty as well, either comes from, or runs out. Looking at the near future, l am glad to be producing a product, that people cannot do without, those producing luxury goods, selling holidays, etc, might not have such an easy time. Food inflation, and inflation in general, is going to cause some very unpleasant home truths to many. [/QUOTE]
