oh man did i read what i think i read.beef11 going into the dairy business.youve made your 1st 2 bad misstakes right off the bat.hiring it all done.an going into ETwork.now you wont last 6months.wait till your somatic cell count shoots up to 1 million.or your PI count gose to 20,000.youll be on your knees with cows full of mastitis an offline in a heartbeat.$9/100 feed an $11/100 milk dont jive.now then hired labor.i doubt if you will stay in paying someone bare min $2000 a month to milk 6 days a wk you have to earn the right to hired labor.i think you need to try milking 7 days a wk w/o missing a milking before you bite that chunk off.as for your beef cows theyll go to sale barn,to try to catch you up when you get behind on the bills.so beef11 think long an hard.before you jump.b/c the dairy is 24/7 365.an no mercy for the weak.
