[QUOTE="RJ1, post: 7935561, member: 1167"] John Roche defined marginal milk as the additional milk achieved when making a change to a system. What i took away was that partial budgets (margin over feed etc) didn't tell the whole story. And I can understand that if my change of plan involves buyinga feeder wagon of some sort and running it when I would otherwise feed with a grab. But not when it would be a modest increase through the parlour, provided you continue to manage grass well. I guess there's a tipping point in that particular case where too much concern would put pressure on the cow and then you have more health issues etc. [USER=51718]@In the pit[/USER] yes, I think there's a sweet spot, it's just that all the research in the webinar came to such similar added costs it's made me question pushing for a little more. BTW, I wasn't thinking about AYR herds here. [/QUOTE]
