[QUOTE="baaa, post: 7601853, member: 19952"] Hi to everyone, I'm based in Brittany, France. I farm sheep over here. I have a farming friend with a 400 acre farm, who has recently sold his Montbeliarde milking cows, after 30 years of milking on the farm. He is now looking to redivert his farm business whilst keeping cows and cattle as his focus. He has over 3000m2 of modern farm buildings. I have agreed to help him find ideas for his next venture and I am coming here for your friendly advice and views :):giggle::giggle:. One thing that has struck me as interesting is that there is no TB in Brittany and/or France. The only TB testing that needs to be done is at the abattoir. There is no testing on the farm, so no risk of positive reactors. This could mean that farmers that have cultivated their bloodlines over many years, could safeguard them by boarding a selection at such a farm. Do you think there could be a demand for such a service for cattle farmers? He might also be interested in offering services, such as, AI, semen collection and embryo transfer if required, perhaps from French cattle breeds as well. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated:giggle::giggle: [/QUOTE]
