You don't need a shiny new parlour, just examine your work routine to identify jobs that aren't needed or should be made simpler. Then take steps to sort them.Redpower
Maybe,well I know some form of a hobby or regular social outing will do no harm anyway .
There is always 2 of us milking just the way it is and if I am missing I get a young lad now and again but not as much as I would like .
I dunno I k now a man that rears 200 heifers and works full time .

To be totally honest no I haven't been satisfied with farming not for a long time now.
The last 8 years I have been thinking like this .
Yes I have got a lad out from grasstec to look at the yard.

I would have headspace for 60 cows 70 if I contract reared the heifers .

I sleep ok apart from my 1 year old waking me !!
But yes I do often think what if ..

True but I am at the point now where I am wondering should I bother doing any more improvements or spend any more money in the yard because how will having a shiney new parlour make me like it any more ...
No offence meant here but sorting the milking and dry cows into 2 separate groups is a not insurmountable job, tbh.
But you've got to want to make changes to try to make life more tolerable at least, if not enjoyable. And I'm not getting that want or desire from your posts?
