This annual technical report highlights key performance trends from herds using Kingshay’s Dairy Manager costings. It’s not so much the dairy system chosen or where in the UK a farm is based, but how well the herd is managed when it comes to maximising margins. Comparisons on herd size or milk yield bands to a margin over purchased feed level show little difference in margins, however improvements in milk from forage and feed efficiency could help lower costs of production.
