Twenty years ago myself and my sister paid £2700 for the choice of three embryos once they were on the ground.

I would say you would have little change out of 2000 for the ordinary lots. Put it another way if you were budgeting 1500/jd you'll be doing ok to get two for your budget for three iykwim.

Not sure. I've been picked as a monitor farm for my sins...only two in the county.
We have to blood everything under 4yrs old once a month. Been doing this since July. Clear so far.

Have dairymaster ones here with years, 20+, no bother with them bar age related stuff. We put in one new track back in 09' and haven't needed to go near it since. They are pricey tho so bargain hard with em. Neighbour has dairypower think hes happy enough with them. Both track type

You'd think they are limiting purchasers and return be selling only as one lot?

Maybe the owner doesnt want to split them up, think that ad has been bumped a few times

Just wondering as to the reasoning. I know with some dispersals any cows with any issues would be sold prior to sales in order to maximise return on the rest of the cows. Maybe he is looking to get all cows including the lower yielders or whatever off together instead of offloading them seperate

Sorry for derailing your question legs. I only brought up the embryo story to emphasise the point that lisduff expect big prices and have been achieving this for years.

We replaced the second most important machine in the farm yesterday. Been looking for the right sized machine in good enough order for a while. New to us diet feeder. We have some very small passages and tight yards so needed a smallish machine. It's only for a couple of years as there will be serious renovations done in the next year or two. If I had the price of what went through the old machine I could probably retire now.
