[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 308012, member: 2882"] A hectare is 2.5 acres, roughl, meaning that Romanian land is about $160/acre. And it's temperate enough to graze from April to December.. Wow. :shock: If I had 32 beef cows worth $1,700/ea in a milk cow nation, and if the beef buyers didn't discount milk cows like they do here, I'd sell those 32 beef cows and put that money into about 100 hectares (250 acres) to add to my 70 hectares (175 acres) and buy as many holsteins or simmentals as I could with the rest.. Then I'd put grass in front of them, a bull behind them, and let them do what cows do. I'd take whatever I could get out of the calves. The reason I say this is because, in my part of the world (Kentucky, USA), decent grazing land costs between $7,500 and $10,000 per hectare and a decent 7-8 year old bred holstein cow can be had for $500 (or less) around here.. What would a 7-8 year old bred holstein cow cost in Romania? [/QUOTE]
