Needing 11 loads of corn a week and receiving 4 isn’t going to be good new long term for them

Silly buggers should have crossbred them, apparently they can milk off thin air

Awesome production.Can I ask what your breeding and feeding please

Breeding is nothing special. Always bred for positive fat and protein percentages for last 30+ years and feed maize, grass/grass silage tmr with protein blend and up to 10-12kg of cake through robots depending on tmr density. At the moment nothing giving less than 18 litres gets cake.
All I’d say is don’t expect good results feeding rubbish.
Protein levels rose 0.1-0.2 when we put robots in, which we believe maybe partly down to bottom filing the bulk tank.

Very good quality. When do you start drying off?

4th July. Unlike lazy I love sending milk, so 4th July will be an upsetting day.
Actually milking the cows is not too much more hardship than faffing around with dry cows and the such.

Mortgage free I'd farm very differently I agree

 

[Beef farmer]

The wrong way. Any farm business with zero debt against it is going backwards. Tin hat on.

100% agree. Have 10 mil of assets and not use it as leverage would be a waste

Have you still got the farm at Holsworthy or did you move?

Still there, on demolition at the moment and it feels good.

Freshways 45ppl for standard litre July, aiming to pay for 50ppl for September. Interestingly they claim they are seeing no consumer resistance or drop off in demand even at current prices

Omsco 11p rise from 1st July to 48ppl

Needs to start with a 5!

Needs to start with a 7 if not 8 to make up for the past 12 + months

Maybe they will still have a supplier by the end of the year?

I have no idea what has happened within omsco but heads need to roll for how poor their performance has been.

I’d hope 50 for sept is well behind the pack

Sid has put the price up for flat all year production.
I think we will be looking closer to 46ppl - transport. Needed after this month 36ppl, plus the last couple months like it, bill have jumped as much as the conventional market, contractor silage costs all risen again in the last fortnight understandable, we do needed it starting with 5.

Seems to be their thing at the moment, announce a price 2 months ahead that sounds great at the time. 2 months later that price is turning out to be average or below average. Very weird times though

I can’t see much more than 50p being paid for a standard litre for the winter, unless the liquid market regains its premium position over basic commodities. The supermarkets need to be short of milk for the liquid price to go higher

I’m not so sure. Unless something drastic happens with fuel prices lowering then milk price will be forced to climb again
