The big trick is to have the pipe coming in at least slightly bigger than the pipe going out.

Yes you will if you are using herdplus.

Those of us that use woodchip is it ok to use freshly cut timber? Some of this will be going under calves. Have a grove of trees have destroyed after Ophelia so thinking of cutting it down and chipping it for bedding

Does the previous owner not have to be on herdplus as well?

Fierce hung up on numbers ,don’t matter how many cows your milking as long as the basics are tight and your making profit ,I find it insulting lads writing off anyone milking less than 100,personally I’d hate to be milking a couple of hindered cows and managing staff and dealing with those headachesc

I agree 100% with you, I'm just stating what is happening around here.

Surely be easier and cheaper to buy in woodchip and cut the trees as firewood instead?

We've chopped timber from coillte straight onto beds Mooo, and it's perfect. The only difference with your stuff is it would have cones and pine needles etc....not sure if that could be problematic, but I shouldn't think so..

Nice to have the timber to do it, as it was just too expensive to buy..

6 out of 10 suppliers on my road have moved from Glanbia to Strathroy in the last 3 years
The latest being a new entrant
Two more look like going
That’s some indictment

Have a few hardwood trees that went down in the storm here that will supply plenty firewood for brother and sister, use feckall timber here have an oil system in. Trees will have to come down before they are knocked by wind anyway as road and drive way alongside it. All pine tress

We’ll see
Up to now I’ve said how long more will I be farming in my own right so do I want the change
It would certainly improve my pocket
It’s a no brainer for my successor

Speaking to one of the strathroys yesterday and they’ve been paid consistently more base than me and have the one page statements to prove it

Anyone I have spoke to that moved to strathroy are very happy. No regrets. From the outside they seem to do what I as a farmer want, to be paid the best possible price for the milk supplied monthly. Not top ups, add ons, co op bonuses or feed or fertilizer rebates, fixed price schemes etc etc. Just pay a decent price for milk. Simples. Fair play strathroy.

Why the reason for such a thought I'm intrigued

I think any processors affected on the, supply side (milk), by Brexit will have some alternative plans, in place.
The worry for all processors is the market for the manufactured goods.

Are Strathroy 100% liquid milk?

What do they do with their surplus supply or do they have any?

If they get more suppliers what's their plan re dealing with manufacturing milk?

Personally I think they've been a great addition.

Was talking to milking machine man today, he was with a farmer earlier who had his fencer unit plugged in beside his automatic scrapers, there was a short in the fencer, scraper unit box went on fire and oil tank beside it, 1500 euro to replace them. Would a fuse not go before they'd go on fire?

Strathroy have an evaporation unit. They have contracts for evaporated milk at peak milk supply in France and Holland. That's the little I know about their operation.

No basis simx.....just you've seen stranger things...imagine if you had a route to the UK market while the rest of us were locked out...

Glanbia were bringing to West cork. A lot of co-ops transport milk to competitors processing facilities

atlantic mist

when coops send milk to other processors how do they pay each other for the milk?

do they wait until the 17th of the following month for payment or is it 30 days credit?

Water John

Carbery were helping out as Bellview was broken down, a long time during the summer. the favour was reciprocated with milk going north. Very far north when Carbery had a short term problem.

Thanks, BP, I meant to check today but things got a wee bit busy.

So you must keep the animal till the withdrawl is up so there should be no selling of stock that has been treated with a drug, never mind stating there is a prescription rug in their system?
