[QUOTE="JohnGalway, post: 7198231, member: 204"] I'm in no hurry to start, first I have to trial the egg layers and I want to get that right before I jump into something else. There is also a finite budget for all my notions. I doubt I'll have a milking cow on the place in 2021. I have no relief milker. There are certainly issues with the plan as it stands. I had thought of leaving calves on cows and only taking a % of the milk, realistically there are large holes in my knowledge that I need to plug. I doubt calf on cow would work on the Kerrys as they aren't prolific milkers compared to commercial cows. Having processed your application through our tough selection criteria, you're hired (y) And wet gear. What's the deal with Jerseys compared to other breeds? I have read the bulls can be wicked. I have a couple hundred sheep, tick the patience box. I'm calling a micro dairist today, so will question her re regulations, and water, though I think that issue may be particular to myself. I intend to start small and test the market. If it doesn't work out then ok, I will have a few cows and some second hand gear to flog. I had always intended to move away from sheep, so a lot of the infrastructure will also suit beef cattle or fit in as storage or workspace for other things. "The public" tramp over a lot of my land every year so I get to meet them whether I wish to or not. May as well try to make a few bucks off them. [/QUOTE]
