I’ve been enquiring about forward contracts and on the grid guaranteed £3.80 for finished Holstein steers plus 50% of market uplift if current market over that at the time.
Someone must have some confidence.

I’m amazed by the incompetence of the Irish coops.
1 there are far too many
2. They knew the milk was coming I it was government policy to push production post the end of quota. Why on earth did glambia wait so long to apply for planning permission.

Now the UK is a third country, how long until the EU reconsiders its position on the UK's TB levels and shuts the door?

There's plenty of "full time" farmers who rear calves as well.

Beef numbers are not dropping as expected , if anything they will go up with the extra calves in the country, the live export of calves is the same as other years , it might be down actually, so beef production won’t drop.

 

[agri knives]

To where?

To Holland , Spain , Italy and Poland

No it should not, most of this milk is dried for baby powder , with China being the big market.
