As of 1st April move from bands to a graduated scaled approach.

Do any other milk buyers do this?

Muller used to do it when we supplied them ages ago.

3monthly avg or 1 month at a time?

 

[Martyn]

I think it's two month average for bscan 1.5p top
Three month scc 0.5p top.
Sid will confirm

How does it compare to Muller?

My grievance with the 3 month average, is it needs to take into account liters. Aug we sell sub 1k day with a higher than scc. Avg 220. Sept we average 10k day with sub 200. But aug hangs around so if sept avg is 180 then it can tip your avg over 200

 

[Martyn]

0.25 on SCC

0.075 ppl bonus or deduction per point bacto
0.01 ppl bonus or deduction per point SCC

I always found it funny they don't reward scc higher. Most milk buyers do. I don't think the changes will effect us much. Getting the volume forecast I find challenging with block calving!

Think first milk have just done this.

 

[Sid]

why the change Sid?

To help those with quality issue to move in right direction.
No change if your already hitting targets.

certainly focused your mind when high 200s scc and over 30 bacto which seemed easily possible.

Makes far more sense doing away with geometric averages.

Geometric still there.
Bacto is easy.

say that to someone in the middle of a bactoscan issue and the next result could be a black eye

When I say easy, testing can find they type of bacteria.......where its coming from

SCC with no AB is bigger challenge
