45 cows ? You'd be lucky to clear 170k before expenses.

So you'd better have mighty few expenses.

45 cows is not a farm, it’s a hobby.

I used to help some small dairymen in my parts milking their ≤45 cow tie stall herds. They were too small to continue. Even the guy milking 70 in a parlor had to give it up. Dairy farming is a commitment to never traveling more than two hours away from home--so you can get back in time for the next milking.

My thoughts too - more like a 4-H hobby than a dairy farm...
