Dear Sor

Prior to launching a dairy farm in your area, it's a smart move to see how many competitors you have. An efficient breeding program is essential to a dairy operation, since production is dependent on dairy cows' lactation, which can happen only after they give birth. Dairy farms may also specialize; for example, they may produce milk only for use in cheese, cream for ice cream or all-organic milk. Startup costs for a dairy farm can be substantial, however, so follow these steps to minimize your risk.

Start with 45 to 50 of the best cows you can buy. Minimize debt by renting land and buying used equipment; you can always upgrade these later. But if you begin with poor-producing cows, you'll always be trying to rebuild your herd and you may never be able to catch up.Most universities with agriculture departments have dairy specialists on their faculties. Major in Animal Science with an emphasis on dairy production
