Why didn't ya fancy it?? Heap of zero grazers round here.....
And was surprised when I looked at the back page of the journal I think to see a couple of well known farmers using zero grazers.....
I didn't fancy it at the time because after doing the figures it needs grass to be over 22% pr. Problem with grass at that pr% and ground conditions mucky...dm is on the floor. Expensive water.
Not taking from anyone that's using the system now. It's just not for me, that's all.
Btw. I'm not much of a Dawgy Dawg Dawg...I may bite!

The labour thing is something that bugs me. alot of fellas calling themselves one man shows not Kevin and a load of free family labour.
Was in a yard one morning and even poor mammy was coming running with two buckets and her head nearly touching the ground
Very misleading but also plain bad manners insulting parents like that. I've no time for it.
I'd estimate my wife is a half labour unit here and she doesn't put on wellies only to go to matches or EP. She took over the books as my mother tools back seat, invaluable. My post is even opened and junk in the recycle bin before I see it. My next step is to get her to keep the Dept records and then I'm free to milk and drive tractors 0 -

You are only against them because the discharge is a bit slow.
No good for unloading dung / cow sh**T, goose livers, duck waste etc. into the foyer of the local co-op / bank / govt. department.0 -

i thought i would give a little up date on strathroy progress this year . they have increased capacity to 1.3 million litres a day , which mainly comes the new evaporater they have built at a cost of 7 million or so . but all of the money comes from strathroy not the farmers. product from the new plant being sold across europe plus the rep of ireland , and they want new suppliers

Will they swing off the n11 at the beehive for me
.? Out of interest are you paid in stg or euro? The exchange rate must of made a big impact on the price this yr? 0 -

I'm getting an itch.
- any affect from Brexit
- does exchange rate come into the equation at all ( when they're buying or selling)
- how are prices looking with them.
