Numbers off grass seem to be a month ahead as far as I can see around here. There may be a little bounce the right way. But they aren’t going to pull them to ****e like last year unless they have a death wish.

Now that quotas are gone the milk supply is there.

Now Glanbia run a bonus scheme based on purchases. Just to put reality on it 20 euro a ton on rations for a farmer feeding 700 kgs/ cow to animals doing 6kL is less than a quarter of a cent in milk prices so it's robbing Peter to pay Paul. The real rub the is at present Kerry are paying a bonus to match the best milk price in the country. The bonus that the higher paying West Cork co-ops pay is considered part of the price for Kerry to match. The 2c/L difference between them will more than likely stretch out as the bonuses come into play. Along with that Kerry are allowing you to buy you inputs at the cheapest source. Over the last few weeks British and EU beef prices have climbed.yet no Irish processor's has broken ranks
