Calves on Joe Collingborn's farm.
The older I get, the more I realise that the SAS motto “who dares wins” often works.
I know I am getting old and grumpy, but it does irritate me that large, housed year-round herds on total mixed ration on dedicated contracts yield 5p/l milk price above mine by opening the door and allowing the herd out into grazing a sacrificial paddock for a short time each day.
This equates to milk produced from grass!
On the other hand, would I want to face an impromptu annual inspection with 20 minutes notice?
