He did ask about block calving in the first post. Could also measure output per person in liters. I’ll likely be higher this year but last I looked a couple years ago we did around 500000 per person on farm. If I converted that correctly.

Would the cost of the staff not be a factor too. Someone employing a herd manager on 40k plus house and vehicle and having them do most of the work, is different to the owner looking after the cows and using a self employed, entry level employee with no accommodation to do the basic work. You could almost have two of them for one herd manager.

And I probably did less hours work over the year than your workers do now

Biggest problem I see with staff these days is mobile phones
Two lads work with us and probably on there phone 20/30 mins per hour ,hence employ 2 to do one job

Why would you allow your staff to be on the phone so long?

A lad on his mobile phone is like a lad stood around with his hands in his pockets.
Partly why i prefer older staff, less likely to have mobile phone addiction.

It’s amazing the things people can do while there on there phone
That would be me! Creation of the devil, who thought sticks for motion and pedals for boom was a good idea?!

I have never even sat in our skid steer, I'm terrified of it.
We work it out on 750,000/head, but it is massively variable, we dont do much tractor work, just feeding and a bit of fert spreading.
Looking at a lot of busineses, not many get away from 1 person per 100 cows, or thereabouts.
