My auld white water leggy high mantinance Holsteins are only just lagging behind ur x bred machines!!!.not blowing my own trumpet but just goes to show what results good selective breeding of Holsteins combined with good grassland and herd management can be achieved.i see a lot of lads only really starting to let cows off to grass now rather than doing a spring rotation plan to budget grass till early April from start of calving .a lot of these will hit a wall in April with such a high demand and quick rotations whereas anyone budgeting will be more or less ok or might have to buffer for a few days.

Spot on. Unless on the wettest of ground where Late Feb calving should be practiced. Guys with less than 50% grazed are going to run out of road. Others will buffer too hard for too long end up topping in early May or locking up too much silage. They WILL run short and have to resort to grazing 2000+ covers depressing solids.

Then blame the bastards in the coop for the low price. It's in our own hands measure and plan

I see my neighbour has zgrazed a paddock beside yard yet hasn't 1 other acre grazed, the mind boggles

41.03 cpl for feb- no milk supplied without contract

I did notice that I got only 7 cpl bonus for liquid instead of 7.66 cpl

Did you sort out the missing .66cpl stan .
Had a glance at statement . New layout will need further study.

Not mad about new layout myself. Bonus are given in totals not per litre.

A column showing €/kgms should be added

Wouldn't feel one bit sorry for them, know of cases where lads turned down a nice chunk of quota at 4 cent a litre last round thought they wouldn't need it some lads grasp of financial planning covering yourself is non-existent

any final stats on the quota situation in the country?
surprised there is any fleximilk, any word from gii on flexi
see glanbia sold the nigeria operations, didnt fit their strategy anymore, how long before they offload their share in gii?
committed to supply contracts wonder are they linked to the irish cso/cpi index figures

Dawggone · 11-04-2015 01:06PM

Bast*ards have raised the base for BF to 3.8%. Protein stays at 3.2%.

There was a "promise" of rising milk price for spring but it stays the same because they know we can produce cheaper from grass.
Price until end of June in photo. Base price not inc vat.

Be gentle with your next post svp

YE heard that also.
Is it true that all lakeland suppliers that supplied less than 350,000 l will not pay any superlevy fine.

Funny that, it's not long since you were telling us how shyte our processors were while yours were so farmer focused, even guaranteeing price

How does the levy work? is it on co-ops total and every one chips in or you could supply x but you sent in y here's your bill.?

Those are guaranteed base prices on an open ticket. That price is net of a deduction of 1cpl for Mar/Apr/May. The "fund" will be divided out per litres delivered in July/Aug/Sept. I got back just over 2cpl from that fund last year...

What are Irish processors paying Atm?
Spoke with a neighbour this morning and the raising of the BF base is a deal done a few years back...I think it had something to do with BF quota, but I can't be sure because his accent is so thick you could stand a fork on it!

would lactalis have much of a milk pool in your area dawg? we are supplying them at the moment they don't let you away with much but price isn't too bad

No Lactalis here thank God. They are fairly big players up north. Wouldn't be good to pay and farmers have very little control, if any.
My crowd would always be 1-2cpl ahead.

they are defiantly not the best payers here either but they don't penalise you for seasonality or have any mad a and b pricing yet which is a bonus for spring calvers.

Wouldn't mind getting those prices myself. The fact that you get prices 3 months in advance is huge. Here we don't know until a week before the cheque hits the account. Makes forward planning difficult.
