Think yourself lucky I got 9 cent have to admit partly my own fault the tank wash broke and got a fine for TBC a fine for added water and a fine for low lactose not sure what causes low lactose in freshly calved cows
Thank god I only had a small amount of milk supplied

9 cent ouch. You wouldn't want to be getting that for may.

29.62 is good. Was that all fresh calvers or were there some milking since last year?

i am liquid milk so got 36.82 for liquid , yes i milk all year round for my sins

why people quote milk price plus vat, i dont know, its what glanbia want, makes it look/feel falsely higher(glan always quotes inc vat, media ex vat)
ya liquid @ 35c ex vat
and winter contract @31.44c ex vat didnt supply any milk at base manufacturing, to costly and bad management
has many liquid suppliers moved to solid payments, how did they fair, what steps taken in regard to solids for January 2011

i didnt move to solid based payments

still on flat volume rate here. it was break even on solids last year, year before would have been up e700, and this year is looking poor, think its for the good in the long run, no choice either ways next January. the results of the f.m.p. study on milk solid testing showed that glanbia milk testing is accurate, or as close to as possible. unfortunately we cant blame them any more for our poor solids

what about their testing of milk quality , i often wonder
