Back in the saddle again

Where the bl....y hell are you they cry, and the answer is weighed down by the dairy industry's economic gravity.  But the cow is off our back and it's time to start looking again at the big wide world of dairy.

And hasn't there been some excitement in Australia!

Man with a shiny suit walks into the office of a man with 700,000 cows on his back....

"Have I got a deal for you!  Just sell me that old plant that you are doing nothing with and I'll save the dairy industry!  All this industry needs is more capacity so that suppliers can have somewhere to send all this extra milk that they are not producing."

Man with 700,000 cows on his back politely escorts man with the shiny suit to the door.

Next day...

Man with 700,000 cows on his back walks into the office of a man with 500 shareholders on his back...

"Have I got a deal for you!..."

Man with 500 shareholders on his back politely escorts man with 700,000 cows on his back to the door.

Two dairy farmers talking over the fence ....

First farmer ...  "My milk cheque is bigger than your milk cheque!"

Second farmer ... "Yes but I'm part of the heart and soul of the industry and unless my factory is successful we all lose"

Two of their cows quietly murmuring a bit further along the fence ...

"I wish they'd stop comparing the size of their cheques and start feeding me.  This half rations business is killing my waistline."  

"Yes" says the other, "and I getting sick of that bl...dy bull hammering me because I'm too hungry to get into calf"

...  And the world keeps turning Smile
