[QUOTE="Popa Cosmin, post: 308315, member: 5402"] You are right with the land…. Concerning cows…In E.U. only farmers who have the right to produce milk can do that. If you want to come in the business you must by first the quotas from a farmer who wants to retire or to sell you. If a farm produces more milk than it quotas it must pay a fine (some money) and no subsidies for it. A good milk cow can be imported from Holland for 900-1500 $. Romanian cows wasn’t for sale, because was a few (good cows) and the keeper want to obtain big quotas for the next years. (Quotas were shared to the farmers who were in business at beginning 2004-2005). But you must buy the all equipment. You must have 2 bathrooms (men and women) in stall and other conditions to obtain the authorizations. You must waste a lot of money to be on the right way…and it is a lot of work. And if you haven’t sufficient milk you will not be able to sell it because the car-milk doesn’t go to your farm for 600 l per day. But I like to know why milk cows are cheaper than beef cows. For example in Germany an France a good milk heifer with pedigree is 1500-1700 $ and a beef one is 1700-2500 $. I assumed that the in E.U. milk farmers are forced to sale the heifers because of the quotas. And the buyers must have a quota to buy it. For beef cattle there are no quotas. But in U.S.A. and Canada? [/QUOTE]
