[/QUOTE]Dear friend,
you need good fodder growing land with adequate good water.you can source cows from kaverippattinam near krishnagiri -hosur route. beware of brokers.take someone who knows how to select cows. a fat cow may not give you good milk.
To start with, its better to keep cows, learn the art of dairy farming,slowly increase it gradually.You need a good cow shed with sides open,good ventilation, avoid overfeeding, for eg a cow giving 10 litres you need 400 gms of cattle feed(good feed from godrej/tata/goldmohur) per litre of milk ie; 4 kg and 2 kg for body maintenance.
In 2 acres of land you can keep max 20 cows.
e mail to me for further details . we are in the business of selling imported oil free ISO certified milking machines and we have a kannada speaking service engineer.keep in touch please. all the best in your endeavour.
regards
