    I'd say its slightly skewed though. Running multiple herds out of one yard brings a lot of hassle. So there's probably a lot of lads under the age of 35 that are farming with their parents and don't have their own herd number.

    I'm pretty sure the statistics would leave them out even though they could be doing most or all the farming.

    we started milk recording here last week and your man that drops off the recorders who covers all of wexford, most of kk and some of wicklow said i would only be one of a handful of lads as young as me farming at home full time

    Half thinking of loading the nap sack up with roundup and spraying around the yard again as the weeds keep growing, no sign of them to stop yet :rolleyes:

    Ha, that Jersey chap could prb get away with still being in school! But anyways, I would well believe the figures about older farmer, the one thing is the most of them would be only small enough farmer, with maybe only 40 cows or so, I guess this skews the figures.

    That ****er FL22 has a lot to answer for.
    A few of his cracked daughters have the place gone mad.
    Great stock but no handling them. I only hope the slats calm them down a bit.
