    Ideally that's the way all dairy farms should be circa 40-50 cow farms,well ran,well kept and environmentally friendly, animal friendly and great communal spirit. Very different to the stark awful industrial greedy farms who do not care about anything or anyone. Well done and long may you last.

      I ran a 60 cow dairy 20 years ago. Well kept and clean. Milk prices were higher then than today. But fortunately I have a good job and will have a 4 cow dairy soon. Compost bedded pack with a 1 cow parlor with automation.

      @@buildingwithtrees2258 Used to run a 30 cow dairy farm. Was a great lifestyle with little environmental impact and easy to manage and supply a high quality raw product. Low milk price whilst inputs going up killed me off in the end. I reckon the small farm will come back. I've worked on 800 cow farms. It's absolute slavery for man and animal.

      @@creaghfarm3495 more than welcome. Love your vids
      As a fellow farmer,may I make a suggestion re your milking video.
      A couple years ago, I had a recently calved cow that was down .after a few days,she got up but had developed a real nasty type of mastitis called staph aureus
      It's subclinical ( no clots) but scc goes through the roof .
      However,it's v contagious and unknownst to me,she spread it to about 20% of my herd before my scc results shot up.
      It's not curable so in effect,I lost about 20% of my herd over a fortnight .
      I know a lot of farmers don't dip clusters from cow2cow but I really think it's critical to stop a subclinical cow mastitis in its
      tracks
      In my experience,peracetic acid is best (brand name Serpent) though you can buy 40 gallon drum for about 200e.
      I tell every farmer this,as I experienced a horrible time + prob cost me 30k over the year.
      I'd hate to see anything calamitous happen to yet cows which could easily be avoided.
      Best of luck!!

    If you were to get a newer tractor a New Holland Ts90/100/110/115 Would be ideal for you I’d say
