Milk Price- Please read Mod note in post #1

delaval

24/6/16

Recently we saw three posters close their accounts over disagreements in the dairy threads. While there is a lot of frustration and discontent with current milk prices and the processing industry, the recent tendency for dairy threads to become tit-for-tat arguments isn’t tolerable for those not involved.

All farming sectors go through difficult periods and during such times there may need to be changes in how threads are moderated.

Dairy threads are going to be more closely monitored and subject to stricter moderation for a while.

To that end we won’t tolerate baiting of posters, constantly reviving old arguments, posters with agendas or crusading for a cause.

Whether it’s discussion of the business or politics of the dairy or other sectors, we expect civility and tolerance toward each other and other opinions as diversity of opinion is needed as a source of different ways of looking at a situation.

"The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress." - Joseph Joubert

Also please be aware that what you may post as light-hearted banter can be read totally differently by someone adversely affected by the subject matter and evoke a reaction you hadn’t intended.

The ‘Off-Season’ forum, and its anonymous posting, is available for anyone to chat about their situation.

I was wondering would it be a help if we posted our milk prices. I would hope that if someone is low that help could be given, on the other hand if high perhaps your tips could help us all.

I would suggest posting your processors base inc Vat for comparison
Post your Nett price for others to help or be helped
I think that solids should be included.
I suggest any seasonal/liquid contract price be excluded or seperated.

I feel that we as farmers do a lot of bitching about processor prices and rightly so IMO. I also feel that we should not worry about it as we can do nothing about base price but we certainly do something about it at farm level.

What do you all think?

Luckily enough okish for quota .will be tight for second half of march I'd say maby small bit more.goibg to milk till end of November then dry off ,recharge the batteries head skiing in January and start all over again in late jan!i mAy dry off a row in early November mainly heifers and some emptys.serious amount of grass still there though so need to get at least60% grazed before end of month.

Why not stay at twice a day for a shorter period or have you winter milkers? (I lose track of whose calving when

)

kevthegaff

higher solids and better price givin after 28c deduction. Maybe i should have stayed twice a day but i have a good bit of work ahead of me so it suits better

at least you are doing something about it, plenty of lads with their heads in the sand on this one, neighbour has his quota filled this month and still sending milk

funny man

Lakelands paid 39 cents. Super levy deductions for over quota suppliers.

Glanbia base 39

We came in at 47
Fat. 4.8
Pro. 3.8

Losing on fixed price but luckily only small % fixed. Will exit 1st scheme in Dec
2nd scheme should yield a top up of 3c that's my best stab it it. As the price has passed 36 in July top up should yield 3c

We have none in latest scheme

Fat and p on yesterday collection
F 5.16
P 3.96
With winter bonus of 6c we should be hitting 56-57c for Oct milk. That's presuming no penalty and grazing conditions remain good

That's too class f and p on your last collection. How's lactose hiding up.
We're at p 3.84 f 4.49 and L 4.48.
Both L and F and dropped .1 since previous collection. We reseeded third of cow paddocks and grazing silage ground to make up for it so grass quality is variable at the moment.

Lac is an issue here and I would be watching very carefully. It's 4.45 now but dropping and it dips as low as 4.42 on some collections. We leased extra quota this year for cover and got more than we needed so will push cows and milk closer to calving to fill. Condition will need to be watched as besides the heifers and thinner cows all will only be getting 6 weeks dry. Lact is the one area where the wheels cod come off.

Any suggestions welcome

Do that here when we have the oppertunity. Going that close to calving you will have to dry off the cow in the condition you want her to calve on. What I do is manipulate the protein in the overall diet to ensure the cow is gaining condition while milking. No diet feeding here, just test silages and order ration to suit. Lact was not a problem when cow was gaining condition. Milky cow here so often fed seven/eight kg meal but not unusual to be getting 20 lts up to 40 days before calving. Solids will drop away as you go on silage but at present milk price you will make a lot of money.
