Larry I will be 62 in Nov. I was raised on a dairy farm in SW Mo. My Dad built the grade A barn in 1953 had daired all of his life. I left the farm in 1963 and returned in 1971. We milked 40 to 70 head of Jerseys Dad died in 1986 I milked until 1996 I sold my cows and rented out my pasture. I can tell you at 55 the hours I was putting in were telling on me. I proably would not have quit if I had been making any money, But I decided I had to build some retirement, and will have to work several more years. It is a seven days a week job. As the other post have said I would suggest you work for someone a while before you invest 100,000's of thousands of dollars.
