[QUOTE="betweenthelines, post: 7942005, member: 45282"] You won't like this [USER=81760]@Jdunn55[/USER] but here goes. You've gone into a new farm with a fixed idea of how you want it to be and, frankly, you've set your sights too high. You need to have a set up that suits the farm you've got, not the farm you wish you had. If that means fewer cows and/or lower yields or a completely different system to what you are trying to do now, then so be it. Your wishlist of what you want if you move tells a tale. If you are going to start with 100 cows, you just need a basic 8 or 10 unit herringbone (or even an abreast) parlour-all the bells and whistles like cluster flush, acr's, autowash can wait. And for where you are, do you even need to house the cows? Look at what [USER=1711]@Cows 'n grass[/USER] has done with virtually no infrastructure and how [USER=86168]@som farmer[/USER] got back into dairying on a budget. There's a wealth of experience on TFF, don't be afraid to use it. [/QUOTE]
