Is he mad?

If he has the cash to buy 100 milkers then he has £100k ish?
Why not buy a bit of land and play about in evenings and weekends. Best of both worlds.

 

I'd say go halfway house.

Find a herdsman position,milk someone else's cows,live in the house provided and earn £30k if you are very good at it with no risk.

 

I suspect it must be about that, he didn't give me a figure but said enough for 100 cows outright.

 

No he is not mad at all
Life is too short

 

Is milking cows 7 days week a great life though?

 

For a while, for a long while, but long term..........na.

 

Beef and sheep is

 

If hes got that kind of money tell him to go traveling for a bit before he makes himself skint

 

Agreed- better to try and (hopefully not) fail at something than spend the rest of your life wondering, what if...?

 

It's not bad, especially if they are you own

 

Already have!! ha ha

 

Id never do it

 

Milking on his own to tying for a young fella, before he knows whats hit him he will be middle age and skint.

 

big world we live in it amazes me how many farmers never leave there own parish

 

Cos most have to milk twice a day, big enough job leaving farm let alone getting past parish limits.

 

one of the reasons id never milk haha

 

Why not?

 

Nor me, it would be a waste of a life because no one cares.

 

Cos its sh!t mate, white slavery, non more so than if you on your tod.

 

The answer is simple - do both and pay to get help in as and when required.
