Hello everyone,,
It has been a dream of mine to have a dairy farm. I want something small scale. I don't plan on ever have a 200 cow farm. I just want maybe 10 to 20 cow.
I have never dairy farmed before. I have never even worked on a farm. I read a lot about it and I go to the farm festivals near me to learn more.
How hard is it to get into? Let's pretend money isn't an issue. Just pretend I have a million dollars to spend. Is it hard to learn? I read a lot about how to milk cows and pasteurize them but having never done it, it seems complicated https://trackeasy.fun/usps/ https://showbox.tools/ http://essaywriter.fun/.
Can someone really just "get into" dairy farming? What route would you advise me taking? The only farmers I personally know don't do dairy/have cattle so I really have no one to show me.
I live in rural eastern PA so I am surrounded by dairy farms, but I don't know them and I don't feel comfortable enough to just try and ask them to teach me or something.

Dear sir,

Please inform the following facts:
1. your exact location
2.Land holding particulars (at least 2-3 acres of land is required for raising fodder crops for cows
3.What type of cows you are going to rear (Cross bred cows or Indigenous cows)
4.You can start the dairy farm and take the assistance of workers
5.Milking can be done manually or by using milking machines

Dairy may be started with expert workers from Bihar who can look after 10 milch animals , along with family they charge Rs.14000/- per month. Hence one need not undergo any training . Practical observation on his own farm for about 1-2 months is enough

I am from Kerala. There are more than five cow farms in my locality. They all started with 2-3 cows and now having more than 100 cows. They all gained experience from their own farms. They get advise from experts also through Milma, a government body.

Mr Sylus1 first of all take up cultivation of fodder crop with hybrid napier grass, construct as cattle shed, see water arrangements , labour family to manange the animals like that you can start the dariy unit on a small scale 5 animals first and after 6 months 10 animals after wards you can expand the unit

Hi sir/ madam, it's great to hear your interest in Agriculture, as per my experience and education dairy farming is the most profitable enterprise, believe me, it's not just enterprise its a way of living. you have work (live) to daily. but it is easy if you have your own farm for fodder crop production and water, as cattle will consume a large amount of fodder, and feed (nutrient supplements) contributes largely in your cost of production, but we reduce by other means. regarding breed selection and other, you can contact.

I believe that in keeping 10-20 cows manual milking is no longer acceptable because it is difficult, not productive and not hygienic.

You can use milking machines to save labour, in spite of using machinery you have to utilize 1 labourer for 10 animals for caring , feeding . cleaning and milking activities
