It all comes down to ££Update:
Had the milk buyer in for a cup of tea and chocolate cake as we do every 4-6 months and ran it passed him.
In principle no objection was raised but we would have to be accredited to carry milk
Arsed?
Collecting milk while you are still milking is a major no noTractor towed yes. Less than 30 mins in to dairy and could haul 28000 litres every other day. Say 2 hour round trip including off load and wash out. Could pick our time too (for a premium if they want it after midnight )
Not a massive issue but the local collection only has 18000 litre tankers so having to part load every other day which can be a minor nuisance as we need to insert a T piece so they can collect if we’re milkng
Would only work if you had a driver who loved the job and could organise his work to make the most of having a truck. Get a couple of other guys tooled up with HGV ticket to act as relief. Could cart straw, feed, maize or slurry with the truck to keep it busy.
Trouble is 36K a year doesn't seem a big enough cherry for buying a truck and the trailers to go with it, plus finding a bloke?
Why?Collecting milk while you are still milking is a major no no
36k is just the saving on the milk haulage part of the equation, bound to be savings on the other parts as well.
Just make sure the milk tanker and slurry tanker don't get mixed up ?
Contanamin, antibiotics etcWhy?
Wouldn’t happen with most modern tankers with sampling taking place from the milk flow. Also I think @Baldrick has a snap chiller to cool the milk instantaneously.Contanamin, antibiotics etc
Image you are milking, tanker comes, takes sample, you carry on milking, you accidentally milk an antibiotic cow, the sample will be ok, but not the tanker load
I'm not saying milk doesn't get collected during milking but it breaks every rule in the book
