[QUOTE="NoParticularPattern, post: 8126436, member: 50622"] Four households to support, best part of 7 full time wages to pay. We could probably do it with fewer cows but as noted with the usual hamster wheel talk, it’s difficult to just drop numbers overnight as cutting the herd in half won’t necessarily halve costs overnight. I absolutely think we could do with smaller numbers, but I also know that it wouldn’t matter if milking took 8 hours or 20 minutes, we would still spend 16-18 hours out of every 24 outside working, just wouldn’t be in the pit!
