[QUOTE="Enry, post: 8206725, member: 369"] I will probably get shot down in flames here, but Genus are a commercial company and with the share price shown above, I can bet my bottom dollar that there will be pressure on all parts of the business to cut costs and increase efficiency - as we have had to do for many years. That will include reviewing many parts of the business and deciding what to let go. They like others are probably struggling for staff and the 80/20 rule will come into play - turning up onto a 500 cow unit to do RMS where they serve 4-5 cows every visit and sell 1500 straws of semen is going to be much more viable than travelling miles to cover a smaller suckler herd. With fuel at £2/litre and staff issues they will probably end up cutting back more. In many ways their strength was inheriting the old MMB business with national coverage, but it may now be a weakness - competitors will only set up where the herd numbers and logistics add up, they certainly won't bother in the remote areas with low numbers of herds. Mate of mine farms inside the M25 - his RMS tech could spend 2hrs stuck in traffic some days! [/QUOTE]
