[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 977826, member: 18682"] Start up costs for dairy in Canada are insane, mostly due to the quota costs. Also, with dairying one is tied down 24/7 unless one has a good relief milker. One also is calving year around for a year around milk supply. Legally the barns must be cleaned daily, plus keeping everything thawed and working in our colder climate. Lots more work than beef. Around here with beef after calving/branding/ de-horning/ castrating, etc Most cows are pushed out on the range, and alot of ranchers won;t even see their cows for months. Not the best management in my opinion, but that is often what happens.. Nite Hawk [/QUOTE]
