Both of ye are right on both ,the having to purchase the inputs to get 32 just turned me right off as I wouldn’t of qualified as buy practically no feed through them they were competitive for fertiliser earlier in year but not at races currently I hear and all the usual issues including price remain with feed ……the shop in Tyone is also an absolute rob ….more interested in flowers snd all that stuff than what should be there core business ,

Its a concept that should be resisted on all levels. It subsidises inefficient sales practices. If farmer owned business cannot compete with private enterprise, they serve the farmer badly by forming any compulsion to buy..

Fully agree on that ,I’m ok with fixing a portion of milk as lot of commitements atm but not with a caveat like that thrown in .saying that even without that extra thrown in to our last fixed scheme I wouldn’t of fixed any milk at that price

It's very rare recently that the fixed price is any better than the normal price. Lads must be down a fair whack this last few months

I've been paying insurance on cars, tractors, a house and farm with 30 years and never claimed for a cent. But I'll still keep paying to have it.

Mooooo · 17-06-2021 12:13pm

The idea of fixed prices are fine, once it's just the amount sold and bought is fixed. Any external influence on that makes it a load of bollox

What are dairygolds quality bonuses Mooooo? My last two tbc here were 2 & 4. Average SCC for the last 6 weeks would be about 45 but no bonuses for these with Glanbia.

Solids adjustment is carried out at 35.1. The 0.65 is just added after, if you get it

.1 is for QA bord bia, .15 is for milk recording and health screening and then a scorecard is used for the 0.4 for milk quality. A full score card is 55 points, above 50 will get you the full 0.4c I think and it drops with lower the score on the scorecard, scc is worth 20 points if below 200, 200 to 250 is 15 points and so on, the other 30 are split amongst tbc, etc.

Excellent quality there, my scc has gone up to 120 but have found the two culprits. Tbc generally around the 5 mark. Thermo has been highish but an issue with hot water I think is that problem. Must powerwash the parlour and change liners as well in the next week or two

3.69 bf, 3.59p 85scc 37.94. Big improvement on last year but an extra circa 1800 spent on meal on the same month. Dairygold and glanbia could well do with upping the base price

straight · 22-06-2021 10:39am

Everybody seems to love talking about percentages and cents per litre. But what about how many kgms per cow. Low percentages and cents here due to the dilution effect of high litres. It probably all works out to be the same thing in the end.
Also I think it's gas that every supplier seems to expect the farmer to protect their margins. Man told me recently his contractor couldn't give him a price for first cut until he works it out at the end of the season. 15% dairy nuts @ 315 per ton. 18-6-12 @ 395 per ton.

Contractor pulled the above on us one year and decided to up rates by 20 euro a acre when doing final bill, came to a few extra k on bill, havent used him since, was getting the guts of 30k a years work up to that

Mooooo · 22-06-2021 12:08pm

On the solids, my BF figures for the year have matched what the ebi predicts so have been breeding to improve it. This years first calvers have higher than the herd average bf so slowly getting there. P much more a grass issue, always have a drop in June so must work better in that front, obv weather this year has made it difficult but has happened most other years as well.

Dad was very focused on solids his whole career milking and I'm lucky to have them
I've been putting some milk back into the herd the last 5 years or so
Starting to see the returns now

Me personally I would prefer the way we have it than have lower solids abd milkier cows

cute geoge · 22-06-2021 2:39pm

What difference is there in management of high volume low solids versus low volume high solid if both have equal amount of solids .I presume they both need the same maintenance

I regularly have the same argument here. At 3.53/3.44 solids, I'm not far off the bottom 10%. But on the whole, I got €359 per cow for the month with €59 going to the feed merchant. That sounds better to me, don't know how it would relate to other people. But that's the metric I choose to use anyway

mahoney_j · 22-06-2021 2:59pm

All about kgms sold ,cent litre is the past I’ve a preference for high volume good% and about 620 kgms out the gate I also want a saleable calf and good cull cow value ,far from just beer money .fertility has to be a cornerstone too

Our milk cheque is on kg fat plus kg protein and a minus for water …..not %fat + % protein

Makes much more sense. I'd say the co-ops love to hear lads delighted with their cents per litre. Bottom line divided by number of cows here or kgms per cow per day.

Sure tis no different than lads being delighted with there litres
I was just showing the difference in milk price received with the milk price increase aswell as the solids for similar litres to last may

We sold just short of 550kg last year
Running a bit a head of themselves over sane tike last year, if they do 550 again I'll be happy

I didn't mean anything against your point in particular. I do have a thing about lads being happy with cents per litre though when it's all earned and deserved. The milk price should be double if you ask me. I know it feels good to achieve great results same as me with my litres, its what keeps us all going. Ya, cows are flying. An old lad said to me the other day it'll balance out before the year is up.
