[QUOTE="deleted user 436632456, post: 8284594, member: 151698"] Sadly it doesn't suit the aspirations of the youth of today. Plenty of farmers son's & daughters are prepared to milk but it's getting the staff that you need is the real problem. I think we are all guilty of assuming that people will work 13/14 hrs a day with every other weekend off for a "Lock of Pound" but those days are long over. A lot of the big herds who have approached the shift pattern work style seem to be doing ok though with staff. 4 on 4 off could work for managing staff on the smaller herds but just means the owner will probably be working 8 days a week managing the whole thing.
