share milk

The same farm, share milked, would normally have a lower level of fixed costs, particularly labour and machinery, and possibly a slightly higher gross income to give a net income of £2,000 a year for the share milker, and rather less for the owner, this depending on interest charges and the amount spent on repairs and maintenance.

This work showed that although share milked lambs had slower growth rates than their counterparts, their carcases did not differ in composition.
