September milk?

 

[som farmer]

September milk?

yes
lowest we dropped was 33.5, for july milk, got hit hard on graduated seasonality, cows just pumped the milk out, over our prediction, usually get that nearly right. So, more milk, but lower price, but those extra litres were 'free', we didn't feed for them, cows did it off pre-mowed grass if they hadn't, price would have 37/8 ish, marginal litres with a twist !

its not about the amount of milk you produce, its about what it costs you to produce it, and how much stays in your pocket.

willbro's av 14,000 litres, so l have been told, love to have cows doing that, wouldn't need so many ! But the cost of producing it ....................

But isn’t most of there money made from livestock sales and very little if any made from actually selling milk
There was a big herd sale ,probaly 15 or more years ago and the vendor had said I’m selling this top herd and buying all spring calving grazing cross breeds back in because I want to start making money out of milk

They started milking where they’re to now 19 years ago & in 2010 (I think) had a big sale at the Royal Cornwall showground. Was loads of people walking around with clothing or name badges of a particular bank. Draw from that what you want. But they’re still doing what they were then. So something must be paying.
