Quite a substantial difference in what total value of both milk cheques were!
Costs are up between meal and fert so well needed!

3.69 bf, 3.59p 85scc 37.94. Big improvement on last year but an extra circa 1800 spent on meal on the same month. Dairygold and glanbia could well do with upping the base price

Everybody seems to love talking about percentages and cents per litre. But what about how many kgms per cow. Low percentages and cents here due to the dilution effect of high litres. It probably all works out to be the same thing in the end.
Also I think it's gas that every supplier seems to expect the farmer to protect their margins. Man told me recently his contractor couldn't give him a price for first cut until he works it out at the end of the season. 15% dairy nuts @ 315 per ton. 18-6-12 @ 395 per ton.

Contractor pulled the above on us one year and decided to up rates by 20 euro a acre when doing final bill, came to a few extra k on bill, havent used him since, was getting the guts of 30k a years work up to that

On the solids, my BF figures for the year have matched what the ebi predicts so have been breeding to improve it. This years first calvers have higher than the herd average bf so slowly getting there. P much more a grass issue, always have a drop in June so must work better in that front, obv weather this year has made it difficult but has happened most other years as well.

Dad was very focused on solids his whole career milking and I'm lucky to have them
I've been putting some milk back into the herd the last 5 years or so
Starting to see the returns now

Me personally I would prefer the way we have it than have lower solids abd milkier cows

cute geoge

What difference is there in management of high volume low solids versus low volume high solid if both have equal amount of solids .I presume they both need the same maintenance

I regularly have the same argument here. At 3.53/3.44 solids, I'm not far off the bottom 10%. But on the whole, I got €359 per cow for the month with €59 going to the feed merchant. That sounds better to me, don't know how it would relate to other people. But that's the metric I choose to use anyway

All about kgms sold ,cent litre is the past I’ve a preference for high volume good% and about 620 kgms out the gate I also want a saleable calf and good cull cow value ,far from just beer money .fertility has to be a cornerstone too

Our milk cheque is on kg fat plus kg protein and a minus for water …..not %fat + % protein

Makes much more sense. I'd say the co-ops love to hear lads delighted with their cents per litre. Bottom line divided by number of cows here or kgms per cow per day.

Sure tis no different than lads being delighted with there litres
I was just showing the difference in milk price received with the milk price increase aswell as the solids for similar litres to last may

We sold just short of 550kg last year
Running a bit a head of themselves over sane tike last year, if they do 550 again I'll be happy

I didn't mean anything against your point in particular. I do have a thing about lads being happy with cents per litre though when it's all earned and deserved. The milk price should be double if you ask me. I know it feels good to achieve great results same as me with my litres, its what keeps us all going. Ya, cows are flying. An old lad said to me the other day it'll balance out before the year is up.

Got a letter in the post today from the national milk agency. It's a ballot paper. 4 names on it. Don't know any of them. Not even a county of where they're from. Vote 1,2,3,4....it doesn't even say what you're voting for them to do. Another sheet of paper telling you to put the ballot sheet in an envelope and post it back. Anyone know what it's about ?

Where is all this money we're owed for them not fulfilling their side of the contract. We should be getting interest on it at this stage.
