My nephew who's 25 and with a good job with local feed firm is desperate to farm on his own. What he wants is to keep his day job but have 60 milk cows. We are happy to give/lend £150k to help get started and he has about £50k.
On a clean site what would be the costs for setting up a wee dairy with 50 cows milking,was thinking s/h robot and a couple of sheds with flying herd of cows buying most feeding in.
Nephew had milking experience and wants to make a go of it but we're not sure of viability on such a level.
Contract not firmed either.
I farm with my brother with dairy and beef but want nephew to start out on his own.
Any thoughts or idea of costs of new unit
