[QUOTE="farmer rich, post: 101029, member: 1952"] Staffordshire is in cental England, its a mixed farming area growing combinable crops, dairy and other livestock farming. Its near impossible to descrive the average cattle operation over here, I suppose they are as many and varied as in the states, just probably on a smaller scale. Average farm size is around 250 acres average dairy cow numbers around 150. 50% of beef cattle are born on dairy farms. These are mostly raised by specialised calf rearers who sell reared calves to feeders or grazers. The other 50% are from beef herds. The industry is stratified with the cow/calf operations in the less favourable hill areas and the feeders primarilly in lowland areas with better grazing and land suitable for growing corn and forage crops.
