Similar here, anyone I know who has converted is flying it. Your always gonna have lads who have been dairying for like the past 30yrs and who are bored of it and wanting to get out. And life is absolutely too short to be tied down to a job that as demanding as dairying. I got zero idea what the future holds for me but I know I won't be dairying all my life (who knows what the dairy market will even be like in 10 or 15yrs time ha?).
Ah it doesn't need to be the tie down that it's made out to be. There's plenty of young people out there willing to work on dairy farms and relieve pressure from the farmer. A lot of the issue with finding reliable relief is the blame of the farmer, farmers don't like to hear that though!!
When my time comes to step back and let someone else at it, I won't hold them back. I certainly won't be belching out orders at 70yrs of age expecting some poor unfortunate to do everything the way I want it done.
