So I have been playing around with an idea. Right now our family farm makes money two ways, eggs and cows. We no longer sell beef we sell cows. But it has me thinking about another business, something I know very little about.
Can anyone share with me what they know about the possibility of having a small dairy farm where the calf is not removed. What are the health concerns? What do I need to think about?
I live in a very conscious city when it comes to buying local, supporting small farms and hugely, animal rights. I think I would have a decent market to sell milk, butter and potentially cheese that has been produced by cows that still have their calf by their side.
Has anyone ever tried it? What do you know about it.
