[QUOTE="Turboman, post: 4479368, member: 2539"] Bossman how far away are you from a potential milk buyer? How many other dairy farms in your area? Others here suggested you start small but the reality is a processor isn't going to send an article Lorry over ten miles just to lift a piddle of milk. If no other dairy farmers in your area then the reality is a potential milk buyer will want a level milk supply year round and the ability to fill an artic tanker every other day! The logistics for a small herd just won't add up if your not in a dairy area. Are vets, robot/parlour tech guys in your area? With regard to you having plenty of grain to feed, that might be true but what you really need is protein and that will still have to be bought in in most situations. There's is an awful lot of work involved in dairying, it just never stops. Personally I think you would be mad to venture into it. [/QUOTE]
