Northern Ireland Milk Price Tracker

[MrA.G.]

Any est of cost. I realise it would be site specific. Pm me if you prefer.
Thanks

Still a couple of options on the table for me but at this stage a guide would be 12k for a transformer connection right beside you and 10k per pole to take it wherever it needs to go

The slurry store is under more pressure than the NHS at the moment, anyone else the same

 

[surprisefarmer]

Slurry ok for a few weeks yet, but some "dirty water" is going to get the shift here

 

[yin ewe]

Ok for a month yet, but the last foot doesn't seem to hold as much.

and you have 38 weeks storage

 

[The Agrarian]

Could manage into march ok depending on what rain falls on the open clamps. Hope to be spreading before that though.

The extra storage is 7 miles away on an out farm,its down to logistics. Burning diesel neutralizes the fertility benefit. 1hr round trip,already shifted 50k gallons

It's also about pollution control.

Why? what's wrong with chicken?

 

[Cowcorn]

Why? what's wrong with chicken?

Nothing wrong with chicken plenty wrong with 2 of them for a fiver !! You have to ask yourself what sort of diet the had ??? Or how could the chicken farmer have any margin ?? And most importantly where did the chicken come from ?? More than likely such chickens are of the rubber and water type .
Bit like 2 litres of milk in some shops for a quid . Best left where it is .

 

[shumungus]

Two for a fiver is a loss leader plain and simple or trying to move produce before it hits expiry. As far as diet goes unless for a coccidiostat which is withdrawn from their diet pre slaughter the feed is plainer than it has ever been with no promoters or antibiotics. The modern chicken is very similar to the Holstein cow, pushed to its genetic limit. A modern broiler can be taken from day old (37g) to point of slaughter at 40 days (2600g) with an FCR of 1.4 to 1.5. Modern beef units can get cattle to point of slaughter at 500 to 550 days with a FCR of 9 to 12. No comparison. Also the life cycle of a Chicken is 6 weeks not 16-30 months so very fast to adapt to changing consumer trends.

Risk assessment: I know it's only three grab high but should a man with two ceramic hip joints be pulling back the cover? Dancing on ice! The joys of an open pit.
