boy you've got a pickle there, thats why i'm looking my own cows, no more than i have to , to meet demand, and whey disposal, can sread on fields, also looking at butter as well, so equipment wise, cream seperator, 2 bulk tanks, chees vat, aging room & building everything seperate from the cow stable. .was considering being esasonal, milking 1/day...concentraing on the cows to improve blood line, ow stress environment for myself & cows. Cows on pasture all season as long as something is growing out in the fields, then indoors for wointer, generally where i'm located outside late march till late october. In the stable looking to put cows in box stalls vs stanchons, so they can be more comfortable....seen this before works well, milking via pail & step saver, feed ration, hay, pasture, minerals, earcorn hammermilled & blended with sprouted grains like barley, oats & peas...
