[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8053091, member: 718"] All kinds of variables come into it, one of which is how modern and high capacity the milking parlour is. Accurate cost forecast is a bit of an art and, as always, every farm will be different in some way. In my own case the time taken to milk cows is ridiculous but at my stage in life and circumstances the last thing I would do is invest in what is now needed, a complete new milking unit including slurry, cubicles, housing and silos. In two or three years these will be 45 years old and well past their use-by date and until we finally pack it in, the labour cost will remain high per unit of output relative to even the average today. However, other costs offset this by being very low. [/QUOTE]
