New hear, been reading for a while now, so be kind to me everyone
Currently farming at home with on a average size herd of cows converting to an autumn block slowly. Have a friend of mine that has no experience of farming hands on and is looking to buy a farm 12 miles from us. Have looked into it with farm advises and recommends low cost spring calving possible OAD milking, which I would be keen to be involved with.
Am i just creating more work for myself or is this a opportunity i should take straight away? It would mean having to employ staff which we don't currently do, possibly a herds man at the new farm that would live on site. I would be a share milkers but still have to employ staff as i would also be looking after our current farm.
All view's welcome
