Lakeland 24.5ppl for September.
Still 30 cents in the south...barstewards.
Sorry.

So allowing for the exchange rate where has the other 2p gone? Is it the case it’s held back for the winter bonus ?

 

[The Agrarian]

Is that the VAT inclusive price?

Is that the VAT inclusive price?

I was told it worked out at 3%

 

[The Agrarian]

That's not what I asked. Is 30c inclusive or exclusive? It's quite important.

I was under the impression it's close to 5%.

There you go

 

[The Agrarian]

Ok thanks @Cowcorn . If it's 5%, then that's 28.57c net. Times about 88pence is 25.14ppl. We are producing .55ppl more fat and .43p less protein, therefore net .12p shy. So about 25 and a quarter depending on how currency averaged out. So they haven't skimmed just as much off the NI producers to pay the southerners as you might have thought.

Prices on the Island of lreland aren’t great.

Woeful is one word I'd use.

However I'm led to believe there's a significant amount of non-aligned milk in GB not making much more. Barbers perhaps excluded.

Your English is much better than mine?

Did anyone else get an hour's torrential rain at lunchtime today? Awful. I think this back end has possibly been harder on ground than 2017. Had most of my heifers grazing until last week of November that year. That's a very long way off. Just can't see me making it that far this year. And it's going to tell a tale in the spring.

Have recorded one dry day since the 22september. Total of seven completely dry days in six weeks.

Dale Farm hold milk price for September at 24.8p (24.5+0.3)

Just a bit of a heads up lads. Came across a group to individuals today standing in the pishin rain, petting cattle through a gate and taking pictures of them. Let just say they didn't look like farming types. I know that there could be a perfectly reasonable explanation , but in the current climate, watch your backs.

What general area are you talking about?

Your cattle? We escaped the worst of the rain today, a shower around lunchtime was the height of it.

Thankfully not ours.

We'd a really wet day up until about 4.

Back to TB end of the year again. It's made a head start this time, not waiting on the test at housing. Two culls down in the factory.
