The varying profiles from block calving herds
As part of our new approach on optimal dairy systems, we have looked at the differing milk production profiles of spring and autumn block herds to help farmers understand one impact of operating a block calving system. It is the variation in timing of the block, as well as the combination of spring and autumn block herds, that can provide a relatively flat profile overall from a milk pool. This allows farmers to deliver what their milk buyer desires, while still having the flexibility to run the system that is optimal to them. 20 September 2017 -
Aging stocks of SMP
EU prices for skim milk powder (SMP) ranged between €1,650 and €1,815/tonne in August, but dipped below the intervention rate of €1,698/tonne in the first week of September in some markets. This is likely in response to the impending closure of the intervention programme at the end of the month. There remains over 350k tonnes of skim milk powder to be sold, despite the Commission holding 12 tenders. 20 September 2017 -

The total GB dairy herd is 1.2% smaller in July 2017 than July 2016, which follows similar reporting of year-on-year contractions in April and January this year. Although the total herd size is down, the milking herd is now at a very similar level to July 2016, halting the year-on-year declines recorded in January and April. 20 September 2017
