Now, if nobody expands…. The shortage will never end and we can keep it this way!

Ah slight problem there

 

[John1975]

Expand? when no one wants to work

Exactly.

I think Muller and some of the others are going to have to do some serious head scratching to keep up with that.

Zero plans to expand here! The cost would be massive and involve much more than just buying cows. No way I’m setting foot on that treadmill

Same. No staff about, can't really handle what we have in house. Would need slurry storage, cubicles etc. Not worth it.

You boys need to come live in NI, we've all got to have 1 more cow than our neighbour.

Which seems to be the general consensus now, compared to in years gone by people just called the bank and cracked on. Even with the record milk prices there’s a lot of fed up farmers about.

Already doing over 100 hours a week. Forget trying to do more.

Well done Arla

Just had a phone call from roddas and been asked to put some feelers out there for anyone who would be interested to supply them.

Thought I'd post on here in case anyone is interested, let me know and I can pass on contact details. They've also said to feel free to speak to them on their stand at Royal Cornwall.

They also mentioned that an area they would be able and want to collect milk from would be the other side of wadebridge/bodmin if anyone in that area was unsure if roddas would travel as far ad that.

I'll leave it to that and if anyone is interested send me a message. I'm really pleased with how roddas have looked after me for my first 12 months and even if arla came knocking tomorrow I wouldn't move from them.

You still wouldn’t want to move?

Nope! Roddas won't be far behind as they've basically scrapped quarterly pricing and moved to monthly for the short term
Less paperwork with roddas, can do what I want with my calves, don't have to tell them my inside leg measurements etc
If I have a problem I can phone the boss, I doubt there's many who have ever spoken to whoever runs arla
At the moment I'm very happy with them

What do you mean ? The farmers own Arla

 

[Jdunn55]

Yes I've just realised that and already changed it
I'm sure there's still someone in charge somewhere though!

Can saputo complete with that
