Whats their milk price please?I've rang arrabawn they are willing to take my milk if I thought I could have more than 20 cows I'd do it no problem which I intend too 20 is just a starting point
Why don't venders work with spring block milk? Too creamy?Not sure milk vending would work on a spring block calving unit better off trying to sell vegan ice cream
If the cows are dry for 3 months what are you going to put in the vending machine.Why don't venders work with spring block milk? Too creamy?
The cost of putting up a building, concrete, installing a second hand parlour, bulk tank, cooling, connecting water and electric, dealing with the dirty water, putting in tanker access, planning permission and a million other things not yet mentioned would blow me out of the water a long time before the vending machine did!I have thought about the vending machine system but will the costs of setting up blow me out the water
You have a good idea who the biggest processor in the area is so they would be a good starting point. Aurivo might be in the area as well and worth having a chat with as well.I've rang arrabawn they are willing to take my milk if I thought I could have more than 20 cows I'd do it no problem which I intend too 20 is just a starting point
30 cows will not pay to put kids through college.I have looked at the idea of outdoor cubicles instead of using winter housing a mile away I do agree with you in that I'll be slow to get a return on my investment after we start up my investment won't be anywhere near some of the guys who have gone huge straight away and their gran kids will still be paying for it but I do think it's a good idea, instead of pumping money into beef farming or sucklers and getting zero in return, infarct I'd loose money like all other farmers, if I have 40 acres and milk 20/30 cows I can make money off it , yes the return will be slow but at least I'll be getting something back instead of loosing money , I know I won't be millionaire but I'll be getting something and be able to put my kids through college or give them something later in life
I'm an arrabawn supplier, june price was 35.81c/ltr for 3.3p and 3.6bf , our milk made 38.5c/ltrWhats their milk price please?
What do they produce?
How many producers?
Even better idea go work for a farmer guarnteed time off which u wont have with your own farm and rent your farm out.The money u intend investing in parlour infastructure buy a buy to let.Contract rear heifers
Guaranteed income , easy work or rent your farm out
Who operated the equipment to pry the money from your fingers?We've just set up a vending operation
It'll cost you around 30k
If your in the right location you will see a return a lot quicker than selling milk to a dairy
