Dear All,
This message is posted with all due respect to the members and vistors to this site.
I have noticed over the last 2-3 months that there are lots of people interested in setting up dairy farms. Majority of them do get responses from various consultants. These consultants do have vast experience in this field.
One thing i want to let all know that from the number of people who want to get into the dairy business, only a few would want to go on a large scale.Majority of them want to start low. I understand that this is because of lots of fators that restrains them doing on a large scale. They could be the capital required, lack of land, lack of labor force and so on. But on top of it, the most important one is the lack of knowledge on sourcing the cattles.
The consultants do give you all related infos and other things to help you set up the dairy farm.But- what if you are not able to source the right cattle stock for the farm. You end up buying what is available and ultimately this leads to a huge loss. I understand that some of the consultants do say that they will help to source cattles but that comes at a very dearer price.
I ask people out there to first concentrate on finding out where you can source the cattles of your like and then start thinking of getting into the other aspects.
I urge people to start putting in ads that would give details or contacts of people dealing in all varities of cattles so that the biggest problem of a dairy farm stater is met.
Please let me reiterate the point that I do not intent to hurt anybody but rather letting you know the real problem.
Cheers,
Stephen George.
