I doubt it, I think a global recession is far more likely, with low oil prices, which will increase milk out put in places, but again I could be completely wrong.

Feed costs for a large portion of the worlds dairy herds have basically gone up 40% plus the past few months with commodities skyrocketing unless processors up the price to take account of this there will be a huge drop in milk supply worldwide

Yep, all depends on how it will pan out, a lot of chicken and egg variables.

That would be a good thing, drop in milk supply = milk price up
Our grass based system will be to our advantage

Will it though ???low cost grass based etc etc never delievers on price for the quality product we produce ,also nitrate restrictions ,cost of inputs like fertiliser ,fuel etc will also rise ,throw in poor weather ,poor grass growth and our position quickly eroded also most herds are feeding 800 kg plus I’d say

Is that glass of yours always half empty! Great weather great growth, low feed bill. Only thing to worry about will be the tax bill next year and which women in the line to turn away!

I’d be more of a realist ......this low cost grass based model ...I’ve never bought it ,it’s an advantage of such but totally overplayed land isn’t free and to get land humming takes lots of tlc in the form of reseeding and yearly mantinance of ph p k n etc

I read that article in the paper - what was wrong with lads on social media?

I thought the article was mostly fairly standard stuff: consumer price, expansion, calf welfare, etc.

Say my name

Any replies from dairy farmers?

Seems a lot of getting digs in on social media lately.

Had a look at the ifj article on Facebook. 18 replies, not one a dairy farmer.

Calves?
Once they're ok looking and black 150 @ 3-4 weeks. They seems to be a good demand atm. When big numbers of Calves hit marts they might be cheaper

Yep and wether is 700 KGms sold or milk recorded 305 day figures ,average lactation of 5 and 700 kgms even of milk recorded is very impressive

Mooooo

It is in fairness. Facilities can make a big difference, unfortunately in a lot of cases cows have to be there before everything can be up to scratch perfectly but shir everything takes time

Registered the first load of calves last night. 2 texts and a call from ncbc about 2 calves before 10am. They've really got their finger out.

Would the calves dams be standout cows in the top 5% on your milk recording results our would they be the average of the herd
