just thinking up ideas going forward so dont shoot me down but would buying 1 robot, putting off 60 sucklers are replacing them with 60 dairy cattle make sense, they could be grazed round the steading and have access to robot all the time, how much ££ roughly for a robot and can they be resold easy enough if it was decided dairy wasnt working out? @coomoo @Cowmangav @Chapelton @westwards
So the idea is you invest in a robot, a tank and 60 cows and the job basically manages itself with nothing else to bother about.......
