[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7327145, member: 63856"] It definitely isn't just dairy. Often the problem is that farming needs some degree of predictability and routine in order to function - anything that breeds "needs" a window so there's a constraint there just for a start, plus the financial impact of less days in milk and breeding back etc etc I guess you could say it puts a layer of complication on top of the natural complexity of nature? But it can help to prioritise, lowering overheads mean less constraints in most contexts, you aren't so driven by "days in milk" or "production per cow" if you aren't oozing cash as fast as it comes in. One thing I often smile about down here is "winter is the time we have our holidays" and that's the biggest time to get ahead of next season. "We can't move the youngstock multiple times" because everyone is worn out from battling nature for the past 9 months and wants a break. It was about this point I let go of my dream of being free to run with the ball - which is why I have so much admiration for you guys who do it! [/QUOTE]
