One family plus a dependant family needs about 800,000 litres or so sold these days in my opinion. The OP is on a hiding to nothing milking 50 cows on all those acres with outdated and labour intensive buildings and parlour. It sounds like significant investment is needed, or a change of enterprise. The scale of the business does need to go with the times.
Just as important is to make sure that the younger generation actually owns the farm before thinking of investing a penny of their own money or the bank's money with them having the ultimate responsibility. Nothing worse than slaving away for pocket money and ending up with nothing but worry and more commitment work for years.
