[QUOTE="nonemouse, post: 6447462, member: 6310"] 65 cows, AYR calving, 1 robot, grazing up 8 months a year if weather behaves. No mixer wagon. Closed herd, all nonbreeding youngstock reared bulls sold 5-6 month old beef heifers 18-20 months. Also have 200 acres land in arable and stewardship. Do a bit of contacting work on neighbouring farms mainly cultivations/drilling/spraying. Financially it works, survived the poor milk price years and just finished off paying the bank for the last chunck of land bought 9 years ago. Considering doubling up to 2 robots and less arable, not sure at my age Im up to the hassle and extra work, unless I find a keen good worker, (been running as a 1 man unit for last 9 years with just a bit of part time help plus my supposedly retired nearly 80 yearold father) [/QUOTE]
