D-Day Arrives

Well today was an interesting day in more ways than one. But, at the end of the day we are happy to announce that everything was a success. Over the last few months we have done hundreds of calculations based on every possible variation in volume, dollar value for raw milk, laction periods, the whole nine yards. This is all done as well based on a 10/14 milking cycle. Oh the intricacies of running a dairy!

The volumes we got today are inside our minimum maximum window which means extrapolated out we will earn more than our minimum but less than our maximum assuming a price of $75 per hundred weight and the milking of 100 sheep. Of course we aren't milking that many ewes and won't be until next year at the earliest (we will have a maximum of 46 over the course of this year), but it does show that everything we have been working towards is rock solid.

Well my apologies if I have completely bored you or lost you dear reader, but this is a major step forward for us and we are very happy. For your viewing pleasure and patience here is another gratuitous lambiness photo.
