We don't sell many litres in December but should still break the 50ppl barrier.

No I think there is a great lethargy in UK dairy that means it's just not going to put its foot down as milk prices go up.

A couple of anecdotes.

Two dairy farmers left their supermarket aligned meeting and said we were the youngest suppliers 15 years ago we are still the youngest today. Expansionist attitudes shrink as you get older.

National dairy recruitment agency today. Farmer had 600 cows 8 polish staff. Now has 3 polish staff and solution is 350 cows.

My cow numbers are down by 10% to make life easier and a higher milk price may make keeping that easy life more possible.

I think we can all repeat similar stories but I can't tell you of someone planning on adding 20cows let alone 200.

@lazy is looking to ramp up

He's even milking until the 23rd December.
But he should be in the growth phase he's got a new generation showing interest.
He won't put more than an extra side in when he should really be adding 4.

Perhaps the tail is wagging the dog with the next gen pushing on.

I'm hoping to do 850,000 litres this time so not huge volume but will be up 30% on last year I hope.

Does your milk manage to flow through the lines with that high constituents?

One slice or two in your coffee ☕️

It still flows just fine though pipes but it leaves a greasy feeling in your mouth. I'm a big milk drinker and this isn't my favorite time of year, in early summer when it's sitting at 5 and 3.8 it tastes just perfect. A couple of bowls of cereal and a milky coffee can leave you feeling a bit sick now, I haven't had a test under 7.2 yet in December

My wife tries to get me to only buy semi skimmed,which i think is just like white water. I just stick to ordinary "full" milk at 3.6%

Anything else at 3.6% would be marketed as low fat
