[QUOTE="Happy at it, post: 8049582, member: 43372"] Been at home full time for around 15 years, and without any help now for about half of it. I wouldn't have believed how much help someone can give just being around the parlour at milking times to let new calves be fed, cows sorted for ai feet etc or wash down etc, until that help was no longer there. I get why you're finding it difficult. That's why I can't understand why the likes of your father couldn't be coaxed into giving you an hour 3 or four times a week to help speed you up and keep your heart up? As beef farmer said, there is such a big difference between the theory of milking cows and the reality. On owned farms around here it's something a few of the new entrants seem to struggle with, after the novelty of building sheds/parlours,buying cows etc the grind of looking after them doesn't seem to appealing and they're gone in a few years. Is the amount time money and effort you seem intent on spending on a short term rented place really sensible? [/QUOTE]
