[QUOTE="hol5150, post: 3508040, member: 20098"] I'm currently in a similar position, have a full time job with a local animal feed firm but I am keen to enter the dairy industry. At home we current have about 400 breeding ewes and rear about 40 calves each year. Keen to milk around 70 cows in an existing building. Unsure of certain things like, feed space required, advice on running a flying herd, having a housed herd 365 days per year, level of concentrates in and out of required ( and if necessary outside of the parlour), if good quality baled silage is suffice, accommodation for dry stock and slurry storage. Any advice would be great! [/QUOTE]
