[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 9175560, member: 86168"] we have to be RT, required by milk contract. and RT will be the reason we stop milking, our buildings/parlour won't be up to their required standards, even though milk is clean, and cows are high welfare. Chuck in new slurry storage, and you are looking at a minimum spend of £500,000, to 'sort' it out for the future, and son isn't prepared to borrow that much, and that's before we sought siblings out. Who can blame him ? l most certainly don't. nothing much, would give me as much pleasure, as telling RT, to go and feck themselves. took 3 barreners to Salisbury today, our 2 FA and Tested, 1 young cow, £2.06kg, and £1400, the other, but old, and French, £1.46, £1100, both better than DW. 1 other cow, not ours, non FA, no VAN number, and not tested, reckon 10p/kg cheaper .......... not much different. stores, mental, and no FA/RT or VAN no, didn't make a scrap of difference. And some half sensible in calf suckler cows, av £1,000, some with calves +£200 ish, basically killing price and calf value. Versus £2,500................................. [USER=5961]@Henarar[/USER] RT will become less important, if stock is short, it becomes irrelevant, buyers only use it as a stick to knock price, milk, reckon processors will do their own farm assurance, as RT becomes ever more stupid. SFI, because of our regen tendencies, 'money for old rope', is the phrase that springs to mind, and as we are understocked, our least productive ground, could possibly bring in £950 ish/hectare.. But perhaps more importantly, it will reduce the labour required, bring an income in, and seriously improve sons social life, And that might meet the holistic side of the thread. [/QUOTE]
