This data is provided by the the independent dairy specialists Kingshay on a monthly basis. It covers input costs, milk production and margins at a national level for conventional Holstein/Friesian herds. In addition, Wales specific data is available.

The tables above show the average performance of herds using the Kingshay Dairy Manager costings service. Although the sample size Kingshay use to collect the data is relatively large, it does not necessarily reflect the trends and performance of UK dairy herds. It is also worth noting that retrospective adjustments to the data may also occur.

Figures for Organic, Jersey and Guernsey herds are available from the Kingshay website.
