seen how fit some of those guys are ? Next diversification, generators on their hamster wheels.Its these type of farms that are ruining it for everyone else. How many cows do you need to have to make a decent living? and to have time off,holiday and sick cover.I think 300 should be the limit in housed all year round herds kept on one farm place.And 500 grass fed x breds,grazing minimum of 180 days/year.............and even these numbers might be too many. Once you get past 500,in my opinion,its just pure greed. Milking times in ordinary parlours shouldnt take much more than 2 hours.More than that and it just becomes a bind, with less or no enjoyment in the job.
