Looking for milk contract west of Scotland

[Scott105]

Looking to see if anyone knows any companies that are giving new milk contracts?

Alternatively does anyone know what rights you have if you purchase first milk shares ? The current first milk shareholder put cows off roughly 2 years ago.

Yew Tree may be worth a try? Collect a lot of Scottish milk. The Muller buyout hasnt happened yet.

Thanks very much, any idea of what they are currently paying per litre ? Will contact them

@lady muck might have a better idea. But don't think it's great at the moment.

Depends where you are for haulage charges. Milk price this month mid 35’s

Grahams and Lactalis?

 

[Surface Tension]

Whereabouts in the West of Scotland? Lactalis have taken on a couple of new start-ups but FM and Arla not recruiting, also Muller unlikely as they seem to have too much milk in Scotland and are hauling it South

FM recruiting in Zummerzet !! Chasing a 400 cow guy who ticks a few boxes

What’s the crack with the farms that lactalis have service termination notices to, supposed to be 12 of them ?

Is Stranraer their only producer pool, or do they have other facilities down south?

They have a producer pool in Somerset and another in West Wales I believe.

Also have producers in Ayrshire

On what basis have they been served notice?

I may have my wires crossed here but I don't think Lactalis have a producer pool in west Wales.

Are you thinking of Firstmilk?

I must be getting mixed up! They have a section on their website about a plant in Aberystwyth.

 

[Horn&corn]

Lactalis did buy organic milk in west wales for Rachel’s yoghurt etc. i expect there’s conventional producers too.
First milk recruiting in the south for regenerative milk for specialist outlets.

They have a site at Lubborn that makes soft cheese

And the word is they are going to take on the new buyer of Sandyford farm in Ayr with 300 cows, seems strange that the are able to dump some and take on others nearer. What bloody use is it being a member of the Milk Supply Group and there is no protection with the new contract crap !!

They have also taken a new build 6 robot unit (5 miles outside Stranraer) who are planning to increase to 14 robots.

They did threaten to cancel contracts of smaller producers a couple of years ago which was sub 50 cow herds, told to get their numbers up or else. Would expect this is something similar.

Is that for both his units?
