[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 4470086, member: 63856"] Absolutely. We had a girl come over from her family farm in Texas, 5000 cows, 12000 acres, 40 Mexicans, 12 Dutch foremen.. 3 36 36 euro style parlours running 23 hours a day, and Dad spent the day studying world milk prices and working out how much to feed the cows and what. Pretty scary when you think that is just a "family farm" In saying that, she was so impressed by the grass to milk idea, cows eating food directly off the paddock, her family flew out to see it. (I even taught Dad how to put cups on a cow, something he'd never done :ROFLMAO:) For us, the sweet spot is around USD2400T of powder, when it goes up, folks like that simply turn up the knobs and money comes out. But "artificially low" beef prices? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: A finished steer I can sell for a good profit at around £700. That's realistically what you're looking at. I'd still love to know more about my poor welfare standards though? Is it my lambs I ringed at a day old, did I need a vet to come out to watch? (n) Is it the fact I'm allowed to bury a dead animal in a hole on my property, that must be why it's all only half price :banghead: I think it's because my government doesn't care if I sink or swim. Same as yours. [/QUOTE]
