[QUOTE="lazy farmer, post: 8365647, member: 5031"] Spring block here. Heavyish farm . So calving is supposed to start 20th of February. Seasonality costs us about 1p a litre overall as we feed to produce a good amount of solids as the back end. Currently we are still running at over 80% of peak production. yield is around 570 kgs of solids from a 520kg cow on Normally 1.3tons of hard feed. This yr I’m not sure I can count high enough. love the simplicity of block calving love having two months off. love being able to keep a fair share of the income. Love the tax bill.love the lifestyle. I think we would continue with spring block even if the seasonality got a lot harsher. Spring block makes it much easier for the mediocre to make profit. Im Living proof. [/QUOTE]
