Northern Ireland Milk Price Tracker

We're not paid for lactose. As long as we're grass based milk ,litres not kilos
How do you put quality into grass based spring summer milk. Push the litres only answer
One extra litre of milk makes up for a fair bit of quality

Freisland campania pay A+B plus lactose I think.

I'm confused. Pro-grazing 'z' is against being paid for solids despite it being suited for grazing, whilst robotic 'agrarian' is for being paid on solids whilst being housed 365 days a year. I guess it's true what they say about making assumptions!

Always taking a hit in butterfat and protein at grazing. Meal feeding drops to .13kg/litre in may. I'm not buffer feeding as this spoils the grazing cow. She's waiting at the gate at three o clock. Easy spotted the buffer fed cows. Queued up early. May June the money makers

is there any demand for a tail clipping service while the cows are being milked in the parlour

 

[Wee Willy]

I clip mine down the crush..less shite in the parlour and no hairs messing up the submersible pump.

 

[monkeydog]

all hair would be gathered up as i clip in an apron or brushed up

 

[Wee Willy]

Still a pain in the arse when you're trying to milk cows...they don't like strangers in the pit. Parlours are for milking in,not clipping,injecting ,AIing,testing or dosing in...that's why there are crushes/runs.

I'd prefer someone to come in and winter clip mine in their own safety crush. Everything from back foot to back foot over and around the back end. Tails and freeze brands I can do myself.

If you want to make money keep all the wee vans out of the yard and diy

Creaming a bit off to make up for the winter bonus fog?

Maybe they need more signatures. Last I heard Z couldn't find his pen.

There's to be no drop in price here in the north to January. So I'm told. Signed for the 29p today for 10% of milk supplies. I will ride the wheel of fortune, but told them that if it's over subscribed and they reduce the 10% I'd change my mind as it would not want to be tied to a three years contract for small beer money. I guess with all contracts there's a 14 day cooling off period

Dale Farm price for October supplies 32.5p (30.2p + 0.3p members bonus + 2p winter bonus) An additional 4p is payable on litres supplied over the base level of 2015 supplies.

So they seem to be cutting the southern price to keep the price up in the north?

 

[The Agrarian]

The reduced price looks like about 30.8ppl depending on the exchange rate you choose.
