A boring and lazy afternoon. With no iPhone or computer with her, Mrs Goat just lazes around, drinking water, waiting for her next milking session tomorrow.

Question by Bats: How much does it cost to own a dairy cow?
Assuming I’d already have the proper place to shelter it, how much would it cost to feed it and provide it with vet care?

  3. too much! i am warning you kids who do the dairy replacement heifer project only make like $ 100. and they make bank at the auction! unless you have enough land to have a large operation or if you have a couple grand to blow then dairy cows are not for you.

    i would try a dairy goat instead they eat hella less and the milk is better for you
