    Reminds me of primary school when the government provided schools with crates of milk that usually sat in the sun for a few hours.Then, once they had well and truly turned sour, pupils were lined up to drink it under the watchful eye of the teachers.

    Ah, the good old days...not!
    I was in charge of the milk in my day and ours never sat in the sun.
    I liked my milk and was always willing to drink an extra one for those who didnt want theirs.
    Some of us kids on occasions would smuggle in milo or quik to have with our school milk. Do you remember the containers the milk came in? I remember at one stage they had those triangle shaped cartons, like the old sunnyboys ice blocks.

    can we all please stick to topic. Qualiy of milk and not how companies make there money. no one asks me how much it cost me to make there $3 latte!
    Thread Topic = "Milk companies and which is best to use? price vs quality?"

    How is discussing price not on topic?
    The OP specifically asked about price comparison.

    How a milk company makes their money is to charge the buyer - simple.
    What that price is and whether it answers the "price vs quality" part of the Thread Subject is legitimately on topic.



    Lately Ive been using Dairy Farmers full cream or either of the Coles cheaper ones  (which I hear are DF anyway).
    I am very fussy about the taste of my milk and these are OK.

    I had one of the Woolworths ones a few weeks ago that tasted sour(?).

    In my previous role as manager of an inner city Brisbane espresso bar I dealt with Dairy Farmers and in particular their representative Laura. She gave fantastic service to the two companies I used to work for and I cant recommend dairy farmers highly enough due to this.

    Having said that, now Im using Maleny dairy at veneziano and its really good. Its one of the few milks that I have encountered that doesnt have a slight watery aftertaste and its a bit sweeter than all the other milks Ive ever used (pura, norco, df).

    For home use I tend to just use iga milk. At 2.40 for 2L its a steal and has stood up surprisingly well compared to branded milks. I think however that a smaller supermarket may offer better milk as they have to pack it away asap and this keeps the milk tasting good.

    All- its really rare that mods ever have to hit the delete button.

    I have done so in this thread and removed a number of responses.

    Message to newbies- play nice so that mods dont need to mod your posts

    Message to old CSers....Please alert a member of the mod team if we miss out of line stuff

    Hey Dennis there is a difference between a comment on the price of milk and revealing profit margins.. thats my point...

    Sketchy

    I was not asking for milk companies to reveal private information... but simply asking them to respond to claims that people make about them ripping people off...

    would still be good if we could get a milk executive to comment on the cost of milk... if they can give this info away... or give us some kind of indication...

    or anyone that might have worked in a milk factory maybe..... not much is known about the milk industry... ie.. cost of milk manufacturing etc..... would be great to get some info...

    Now Phil, dont get me wrong, Im not on the attack, but Im struggling a bit to find some congruence in a few of your statements. The questions youve directly asked the milk companies have been answered and you gave us their answers.

    I could be wrong, but havent noticed any CS members claiming theyre being ripped off either. Perhaps thats another reason why they havent and are unlikely to respond to such a question here in this forum. The questions you raise and expect a response to, would be more at home in a commercial current affair program. Come to think of it, theyve probably covered this before and no doubt will do it again.

    Cheers!

    Bouge.

    Thanks for your comment. The milk levy being removed has made no difference. The cost of everything we use continues to rise. We now have rain on the roof so maybe soon we will have some grass for the cows and be able to cut back on buying in fodder. Herbie
