Dairy Farms

Where would I look for a Dairy Farm with modern facilities for upto 150 cows, and what do you reckon the price would be.

try Australia...

If you did by some devine miracle find such a farm in Ireland chances are you would be looking at over 2million and I doubt cows would even be included in that..

My stepson had an eye on a farm in ayrshire for 150 cows, it was 1.25 million, a year ago but its dropped to 825000 this year, and he asked me what prices were like over here, so I thought I'd ask the experts. He#d be bringing his own cows

Arable land probably, but dairying is tough over there now and the drought this yr isn't helping. I see a farm with lots of modern sheds on it in todays indo, I wonder why its being sold:rolleyes:?

Just flicked through last weeks farming indo, rare to see a dairy farm being sold like that, did they say why twas being sold?! Retirement?

How much would land like that go for an acre in that part of the country? excluding the site and the qouta (which I'm sure there would be interest in considering all that's going on)
