Hello all,
After wanting to go into milk for a few year I've eventually hit the age I could start up. The family where not wanting to start up again for the reason of it being hard to get relief milkers and not wanting me to knacker myself milking twice a day all year. So after seeing a few things about OAD milking they seemed to be able to be talked round. We've got the land the cubicles which are still good condition and got 2 milking byres and a 12 stall herringbone still in and the farm is a dry sandy farm. I was wondering for a young lad like myself how i can start a 60-70 cow herd spring calving put the best cows to sexed semen and everything else to beef bulls and milk OAD. If anyone could give me some helpful advice that would be much appreciated, also if you just want to say don't waste my time and get job elsewhere don't bother commenting. Thankyou
