    Lovely outfit but when you mention the days since you bought her and the next 8/9 months till you sell the offspring , isn't it tough to pull a few quid back from sucklers

    Anyone can buy the nice ones. It's buying the ones that leave the most money, is the hardest.

    I think you mean anyone can buy the dear ones. I don't think anyone can buy nice ones.

    It takes a bit of skill (as l'm finding out) to buy right ones and buy them at the right money to leave a bit of money.

    That's a fact patsy, A fine farm indeed. Was at Moorepark yesterday, just thinking would the farm in Elphin be much later? I'm presuming it's Limestone bedrock in that area?

    There was a time not so long ago when dairy farmers had to get a handout to continue milking, now they pay someone else just so they can get sh1te on by a cow.

    What's the term for that?;)

    How might the investment in the parlour work?

    I imagine a parlour(s) capable of milking ~700 cows would cost a fair bit... so how would you structure a lease around that kinda capital infrastructure?

    It wouldn't be much value at twenty years of age to the landowner, you'd imagine the tenant would pay for it.....he'd have the use of it for the best twenty years of it's life.
    I think the journal farm is splitting the cost of infrastructure 60/40
    700 acres would be some rent to get and some of it tax free

    No just pass by the very odd time with work. Light free-draining land near the quarry by looks of it.

    A Curaheen Tyson (TSO) simmental heifer born a week ago.
    A keeper!
    Taller/bigger than she looks in the picture - just the right size overall.
    Very quiet also.
