Good idea. More money in bb heifers than beef and sheep and no money tied up in stock and no big borrowings to change set up. Only downside is your working for someone else but that can be a plus or a negative depending on how you feel about itThe wife is the biggest factor there. You need support, especially if it's gonna be a one man band affair. What about ditching the lorry work, and team up with a good local dairy farm. Rear heifers on your place and provide your labour on his place? You've the life of a dairy farmer but can set your hours and have none of the stress.
