    Incidentally, there is a group of lads from AI stations heading out later this year looking at potential bull mothers for importing semen and test bulls.

    It's about time bell bottom trousers made a comeback too. Talk about nothing new under the sun.

    You can't ask that now 'cos of manners.

    You have to ask him how long the shadows are beside the parlour before and after milking and work back.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    I'll leave the trousers to yourself, though.

    Neighbour asked us how many we were milking, he didn't know how many he had but under further interogation eventually got it out of him.
    The same lad knew exactly how many we had as he counts them on a regular basis, he was also able to tell us when they were due to start calving.

    One lad is only a sort of relief lad and he knows who every body is. Lads that have been working in the coop yrs don't know how he knows them all and he lives an hr away. Knew my name the minute I walked up to the counter the first day he was in the place and I hadn't said a word to him.

    I have two cows. I sell three of them to my publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by my brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that I get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to my listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.

    You'd grow that much faster if you sold a collateralised debt obligation backed by the milk components of the eight cows. Senior Tranche - Protein, Junior - Fat, and Subordinate = the rest of it.

    Then I could arbitrage it against a "milk crack" of GDT powder, Chicago grade III liquid for next June & a cellar full of slightly ripe Cheddar.

    Maybe Irish Water would be interested in the subordinate tranche...

    Now we're sucking diesel. Can you see anyway of using synthetic cdo's, credit default swaps and maybe buying a couple of million lts of futures,three card tricks etc. and I could be a dairy farmer without the cows.

    Yes

    Short liquid milk, long soy + crude, call option on 30 yr money as a proxy for land + inflation hedge.

    Would need to fiddle with the proportions but basically that's synthetic dairy
