if we all could get 4.50 a litre i'm sure it'd become the norm

Holy cow.

You'd need £4.50/litre with a herd of 30, of which half were bulls or 'retired' old girls Add to that milking them by hand

I suppose your electric bill will be minimal with no parlour .....conversely your fallen stock bill will be high paying to get shut of them all if they die on farm

I'll have to do some number crunching

I think my OH already runs a retirement home for cows,as fast as I say that's ones going ,I get oh but you can't kill her.

There isn't a problem.......it's quite nice to see However, I don't think it's a template that will keep the world fed

How does the 'no slaughter policy' go on if they have a Tb breakdown?

No but is that our problem ?
Like organic as long as they don't promote it by slagging of what the rest of us do I don't have a problem each to their own

Like any other farm, the positive animals are killed. This was tested in court in 2007 and the judgement was made for DEFRA. The bull in question was forcibly removed by department official with riot police support and slaughtered at an abattoir, where he was found to have TB lesions.

That's what I noticed when I read the link. It was a statement of explaining what they do rather than saying it was better than any other way
