An example is a senior manager complaining about an issue that was discussed at the shareholders meeting last year, saying it had been discussed at length. It had been, but at advisory level and none of that discussion was forwarded to the majority of shareholders at any point during the preceeding year, just presented as a fait accompli at the end. There are issues that need to be retained at advisory level but, equally, there are issues that need to be forwarded to other shareholders at an early stage of discussions.

I'm feeding 0.5kg and milking OAD, trying to keep as much quota as possible for nxt spring, doubt if I'm the only one in this boat

frazzledhome wrote: » Would we not be better to stock according to what we can grow? Obviously feed required at shoulders and to cover cal mag. I'd be concerned lads will add expense following yield because of no quota. We can't afford to substitute grass supplement yes My plans for next year was to increase cows by 25%. With price cut looming our budgets suggest a cut of 20% in numbers and selling these calved will yield me more profit. My heart wants to grow but my wallet wants profit so I waiting and seeing and will decide in the next few mths.
Greengrass1 wrote: » My point waa though alot of lads aren't doing grass right and then relying on maize/beet to carry them. Alot of lads jyst graze the place bare most yrs and shut uo shop and dont get out till end of feb and are feeding silage and the likes when they could be at grass. Maize has its place aswell as beet but you might get more value with it with good quality grass at the shoulders?
Milked out wrote: » Were u planning on feeding extra meal to carry those extra cows or take extra land if u don't mind me asking? Just wondering as if you have the land to increase cows without increasing meal / supplementation surely it would make sense to increase numbers unless caught for winter feed?
frazzledhome wrote: » No hitting 16 tonne grass this year so could carry but would have to import too much meal. Cows will be silly money this spring and price will no low so am thinking cash in cows keep all our heifers and cut her to the bone for the year. Look my heart is telling me your right but the books say otherwise. I'll make a call in Jan when I see prices of stock and milk. If I can see average milk price over 35 for next year I'll milk if not and cows are dear I'll cut back. We will still have enough heifers to grow in 2016. Thinking out loud, a lot going one way maybe I should go the other way:) talk of 2015 I can't see what's wrong with 16,17 or 18

Alot just see the money but every one of us here knows the troubles we have had with our herds and how hard It was to grow imagine what it will be like for a novice. I hope it works out for all but undoubtedly wont
