[QUOTE="HonoredCattlemen, post: 1452040, member: 29758"] I'm new to the dairy game and I have some questions on what people can do in their business. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm seeing two main groups of dairies. Are there more? Group 1: Rearing Heifers. Farmers raise replacement heifers and sell them to milk producers. I assume this group has a stock of mothers for producing the replacement heifers and has the option to buy semen or have some bulls on the farm for getting them pregnant Group 2: Milk Producer, Farmers buy replacement heifers, get them pregnant and start milking a week or so after the calf is born. (Does the calf also get milk or do they feed the calf replacement milk?) [/QUOTE]
