Last post on this because some may see this as a personal attack on farmers ...its not.
The bloke i know says he spends 2 and half hours in the morning milking and the afternoon milk as well.
Of course he can do other stuff in-between but to say dairy farmers work from dawn till dusk is simply untrue.
He told me he goes home and has a couple hour snooze after the mornings work (only because you pressed me)
He pays someone when they want holidays or a weekend away.

He sounds like a hobby farmer. Lets see how he would go with 1000 hectares and 1000 plus cows for milking, whilst controlling the bull and seeing how the calves are going (whilst running pipes from the dams to where the water is needed especially during droughts). Then doing his own hay/silage etc etc etc.
