Therefore cost of feed and space for 34 goats compared to 1 cow= 200% better ???
Umh 'Six months into its first milking season, the 550 goats are producing 0.21 kilograms of milksolids per head a day' So they only milk them for 55 days/yr?

Maybe one of the reasons milking goats are all housed?

Yeah, seems to be the most common approach these days.
From http://www.dgc.co.nz/farming.cfm
DGC farmers utilise different farming systems. The first is a free range grazing system where the goats are taken to their feed. The more common system is when locally grown grass and forages are brought directly to the goats who are housed in open sided free stall barns. The goats still have exposure to natural lighting and fresh air can move freely through the shelter or barn.

Wonder if a2 will follow xero and leave nzx. The Ausies own most of a2 now don't they?, The sp manipulation from the 60,000 holder, once the 30,000 holder, up and down and up and down all afternoon is enough to rattle the cage and scare any sh into selling. Or a take over bid by the Americans or the Chinese for $9 a share before it gets too well known in USA. $7, $8, $9 per share was just a dream to me 33 months ago. What sp in 33 months from now $17, $18 or $19 when Kiwis own less than 5%, another dream? Look forward to positive AGM in 4 buss. days . PS Correct me if I'm wrong.

What happened to the huge daily volumes?
Trading today looks anemic compared to the multi-million units traded every day.
Smells like the big holders have taken the opportunity to play the game and lighten into the volumes?
