[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 1101370, member: 6713"] Just make sure that you buy the milk cow from a local individual and get it in writing how much they are going to charge you to come and haul it back after you get sick of being chained to it twice a day for months on end. Also be aware that Dun isn't kidding when he says raw milk does not taste like pasturized from the store. If you think you want that lifestyle go live it for a while working for someone else and then see if you think you can do it 24/7, 365. You would be better off feeding out a couple of steers a year TOGETHER and selling 1.5 of them and hoping you break halfway even on the 1/2 you keep for yourself. .......or just get some chickens and try that for a year. they will demand a fair bit of your time and if they die...well they are just chickens after all. and last but not least remember you aren't a milk cow owner until you have been cowkicked across the barn when you touch her teats with your cold hands at 10 below zero, ..........or until you have been slapped across the mouth with a tail full of cowshyt......and no I am not making this stuff to discourage you.
