[QUOTE="Manney, post: 8364950, member: 477"] Cheese contract paid on solids basis here. Planned start of calving 1st Feb. Aim for as many days in milk as sensibly possible. Calving starts when it does to match grass growth curve. Milk once a day and achieve 375kg solids per cow but would like to get to 400kg solids. Do this on 500 - 600kg conc. Stocked at just over 3 cows per ha on the grazing platform. My system is all about simplicity and low cost yet seems to achieve a better than most producers milk price. So I guess I'm aiming to be on higher end of the milk price scale and the lower end of the cost of production scale. I like a simple life and a good margin. [/QUOTE]
