Im not knocking you gg sounds like you have done great work to be fair! I know what's it like with cash tight and trying to expand its not easy! Especially with loans to pay back etc, I have been spending away here the last two years all from cash flow which drains funds (some say its the wrong way to do it but there is no loans here which helps to be fair) even so somedays you wonder are you mad! But im looking down the road in two years hopefully only the taxman to pay! If prices don't collapse but nothing any of us can do about that.

Yep loans are a killer alright but you have to have them as well.
We had a lad sitting in our kitchen 5 weeks ago and told us he wouldn't give a loan because we had a mortgage. Didn't even care what our finances were.
Going up 20 cows is not going to break me it'll make me I reckon

Between you and your dad, even with a strained relationship, 20 extra cows most certainly will not break yas in my view! Your stocking rate is still quite low isn't it now? Once you have the winter accommodation and silage slab then plough on forward with numbers would be my suggestion!

bf on latest test is 4.36:eek: up from 3.86.
I am assuming glanbia payments will come in over the weekend as the 18th is sunday. There has been a problem since the new sepa payment came into force and payments aren't coming through over the weekend. Was alot of strife for alot of people when child benefit didnt come in as normal on the saturday of the last bank holiday weekend

From my memory you'd only be depressing yourself:(

Have you signed up for the direct payment into bank instead of chq, think it goes a day or two earlier than 18th?

Out of curiosity does it usually come in by the 19th even if the 17th is a Saturday?
I'm only after changing to this.
Bad start

Maybe I've jinxed it!

If its not in by noon it will be tomorrow or later.
I wonder what's happened.
Presumably those paid by cheque got it today.
It's not acceptable.
Most of us have commitments timed for the 19th and 20th.
