Reading a couple of articles about some chap who reckons the processors need to start paying based on solids rather than litres. As a non dairy man it seems illogical that the majority of processors are based on litres. What is the general consensus? Is it a case that the board members are scratching their own backs and don’t want to change it?
Seems to be litres men on the boards and in all the photos. The holstein makes the money the meal man said.

I was talking to a man at the dairy fair,6000litres on 1 ton of meal 4.6bf 3.6pr, it took him 10 years to breed this type of cow, it's funny in a way as that what my college days were teaching in 1983

It's a case of appeasement. Of course it's the logical way to price milk for manufacturing, and everyone knows it, but it continues to be the elephant in the room. It's thought to be a risk to which ever company moves first, because if the competitor doesn't follow suit, they may pick up disenfranchised Holstein producers. And so the local NI herd remains frozen in 1996.

On the flip side of that you could say the one to jump first may pick up a few solids men who are disgruntled if their processor didn’t switch which would help offset losing litres men? With the added bonus of reduced transport. I mean the beef grid is screwed up to but the suppliers aren’t shareholders.It's a case of appeasement.

There's currently a lot more Holstein semen sold than anything else. Chicken and egg.

Merry Christmas everyone! Just doing the usual pre-Christmas extra feeding! Don't forget, lots of cream on the pudding and mince-pies, nice pint of milk for Santa, extra milk for the custard, nice wedge of cheese for a nice wee snack and remember the reason for the season. Have a good one!
