[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7378933, member: 63856"] It's a good observation, though. Especially the bit about the 'artificially high stocking rate', what it can sometimes be is an artificial everything, including expectations? By this I mean, we spent all that money on making things better than nature provided for us... better cows, better seeds, better straws than any bull we can afford... so why isn't it working out? I was in a very similar place with my last dairy farm, as what you guys describe: Dad, the farm owner... he had very high expectations of what his cows "could produce" if he just kept throwing money into the ring. Wheat, molasses, minerals, drugs, seeds... and all I could see was how much more profit he could make if he killed some passengers and killed his spending habit. It made my job very difficult.
