The only was just to reflect the difference between what people say there on and what lay actually take home I’d love to have £650 a week as well but the majority of people don’t earn that your all picking out jobs that pay good money this is not the normOnly, Only I like the way you say only
So what would they be paying the government that the self employed person wouldn't?

If you were too start a cattle enterprise how would you do it? I’m not really in a position too have the outlay that calves to finished cattle takes what ever I did I’d need money back from it within 12 months really..

That’s a hard question. Personally I like keeping suckler cows but they are a very expensive and slow way to get into cattleThe place id buy them from breeds pretty good calves, they leave calves on the cows, no jerseys either all Holstein crosses… just bouncing ideas around really…

Are you trying to do it without spending too much money?Be worth more than £0 though I’m purely just trying to work out a way too include some form of cattle enterprise into my business plan, I am not milking cows I’d rather shoot myself so I’m purely just looking at options…
So buying in weaned calves around august September, too then move them on again in April when people start buying grazing cattle?I think there would be money in buying in young 4/6 mth weaned calves but you may need to be able to hold on to them till the spring to see decent money back .
Selling them at 12mths takes you into Nov/ Dec when mist have got their sheds full up and not really looking to buy .
More chance of the queen giving birth too a healthy set of twins next week than me milking cowsi would personally milk at moment cash straight away especially if the farm was half set up for it. Not been a better time to start in last 25 years imo.

Thankyou I’ll have a google might be a way too just get cash flowing for a couple of years too then start buying my ownI understand it’s all the money tied up in these cattle that make it hard for everyone really
The only things I know of where you can actually farm cattle without the capital outlay are the Woodheads finishing scheme, a calf rearing scheme of a company I can’t remember field fresh or something that sounds like that and the breedr thing where they stump up the money while you have them ‘stores’ but you have to weigh them and so forth
The rest of it needs cash
