I was looking into Highland cow for beef for my family, than my 12 year old wanted milk to make butter ect.. so know we are looking into Dexters dual purpose cow any input on this new to cows the fencing is up 2 1ac lots for now I have 2 more lots 3ac and a 2 ac I'm looking into 2 Dexter cow.
24X32 barn with a separate milking area used only for milking building will be started in one week any input on the barn would be appreciated also it will have tree section 1 for the cows 1 for hay storage and the other for my small tractor and it's implements just 3 of them.
How big should the milking area be what should it have in it for say 1 to 2 cows hand milking
I live in upper New England cold winters hay storage ?
It will have water & electric in the barn
