You may find cows that produce as much as or 1, gallons a year, while others produce only or gallons. The cattle business, in particular, looks attractive, where a young person with ingenuity can get a start with a few cows and grow. I joke that my husband and I should fence our yard of an equal size and get a couple. I agree with the idea that you should contact some other cattle farmer nearby and see if he has contacts to help you rent out the land. Develop key performance indicators KPI to benchmark how your operation compares to itself over time and to others of similar size and in the same area annually. All rights reserved.
