[QUOTE="Martyn, post: 6454262, member: 2586"] Milking at the moment about 80 fresian through 20/40 swing over that's far past its best. Cows on 4kg a day all year round, round bale silage in the winter, try and close the door for 30-50 days if we can, cows giving 5-6000l upping numbers this Autumn with first new block of heifers joining. Renting 360 acres, carrying 100 beef 80-100 arable and 150-200 Dorset sheep, very low input/output. Stock look well, making a profit but cash flow often a nightmare. Want to get upto 140 cows in next 3 years. Myself, a relief milker 2 milkings a week, and a Saturday helper (16 year old who's great) Looking forward to August 2020 will be first time to turn parlour off for a month. Lots of small projects always on the go, lots of fencing needs doing! [/QUOTE]
