+1 to this!
We looked into rearing heifers a couple of years ago.
We've got loads of space ( about an acre under cover of modern cattle sheds ) all unused.
People just won't pay enough to make it worth while for me!
If I wanted to work for no return - I'd still be milking my own cattle - not rearing yours!
We have decided to go down the b&b pig route - having done the number crunching - there is just no comparison!
Would have liked to do that, but i think I'm too far West for them and transport costs will be too high
