i got started on dairy farming when i was 13 when i started working for the neighbor, doing everything from milking to chopping and baling. i was the most trusted on his farm since my dad tought me quite a bit. then once i got out of collage and saved a few bucks i went and found nice farm with a 175 cow barn. and here i sit today. i aquired most of my equipment from retiring farmers and some at auctions. have had to put a little work into everything since all my tractors are 1980's and older. i'm in my late 20's and figure i got it pretty well off. thinking of expanding though. someone today said i wouldn't make it with my "small" herd in teh future with the price of everything such as fuel. i'll have to think about that one though. prolly gonna leave teh farm to the kids ( when i have them) so it can stay in the family fer generation.
just my 2 cents
