Ten year milk price

[Beef farmer]

+1 @lazy farmer I milked for a neighbour 2 days a week for foc for 14 months. I owe them a lot.

Pardon me for being thick and taking this thread off topic but how do I figure out my solid kilos?

 

[dinderleat]

Pro +fat divide by 100 * total milk volume

So
4+3.3= 7.3/100 = .073* 10000 = 730 kgs of solids

 

[Rossymons]

So I'm going 485 kgs from a 600kg cow. Work to be done.

Depends on what your spending to get it, but if you keep it the same and just increase it through breeding your bound to be better off.

We're doing around 700kgs from 650kg cows

The best jerseys in Denmark are doing 150% of body weight. They wouldn't graze much mind.

Done mine there. 472 kgs from 550kgs BF type.no idea good or bad.MFF 3200L should help me.Stock bull saves me alot of time as a one man band but often thought of breeding only from the top half of the herd solids wise.

 

[Rossymons]

If I hit the increased yield as predicted then I'll be 525/cow

Similar to me here. I'm hoping for 100% if possible/desirable

A lot of money to be made in marketing the calf at the right point, this is different depending on the breed and what it looks like. One farm round here is regularly topping the market with runs of 10-12 week old BB at £450+. Now if you pump that calf with the best milk/cake you can to get that money (and many break £500) then it can't cost more than £2/day? So there is £300 clean profit in that calf! How much milk does the cow need to produce to make £300 clean profit? Or £36,000 per year on my 120 cow herd! To me the calf is not a by product to get milk, but very much a part of the PROFIT generation.



In a surveillance zone again at minute, but normally Cumbria a TB4 area

In reality I'd sell calves where I think they would generate the most profit. If the calf trade looses it's strange love with BB calves, then I'd just rear them myself and fatten them if need be. I currently buy young stores to graze anyway.

When we're or bb mainly through the winter we sell them at roughly 4weeks old depending on who much waste there is!and get roughly £350 a calf,if you want to do that fine but honestly the extra work and cost doesn't pay!big cows here big calfs it's advice of people that do it day in day out,take it or leave it

No she's fine. I think the Norwegian reds are better than the Swedish reds as they are more uniform

Snap

 

[Cows 'n grass]

I've got 2 NR x j x f. Both good milkers and good looking strong cows but horrible temperaments.

 

[Cows 'n grass]

We did 420 kg MS last year from 400 kg cows. I think I ended up feeding about 750 kg of cake which was above budget but it was cold as fek last spring and nothing grew until may so it's not surprising.

What about the lactose?

 

[lazy farmer]

nope we are not paid for that.

 

[Beef farmer]

Yeah all cows lactose, that's why they have hoofs.













Sorry.
