Texel x Sufflock are my favourite, good looks and very productive breed, glad i don't have to feed the little bugger lol Mcphlange its a known fact dairy farmers in the UK and US arent making money, Canada is still doing fine though in Manitoba were not even feeling the recession and if your thinking of farming...sheep is the way to go!

[Mcphlange]

also, how long would it take you to get through a ton of concentrates + hay+ sialige, with about 200 cows?

[holsteincowboy]

1 day

[Mcphlange]

Oh right:)

What else costs alot then?

Because,

200 cows X 30 litres X 23ppl=£1380

So even if u spent so then after u have fed them you have £1200 ish.

What are the other main expenses??

[holsteincowboy]

fertilizer fuel labour electric try

[Mcphlange]

oh right. I dont know much about it im only 14 LOL.

But im learning lol.

if you ddnt use any fertiliser, and you payed your worker £55 a day, is you electricity around £1000 a day??

Roughly how much is it to feed indoor cows with the right stuff.?? Nathan.

[holsteincowboy]
