Larry,
I have a friend who was raised on a farm milking cows until his dad sold the herd when he was a teenager. My friend raised beef on the farm and worked at a factory with me for 20+ years. He always said if he could do it all again he would have stayed milking cows. In 2001 they announced that the plant was closing-more of our gift of NAFTA. He built a new milking parlor and new milk house and got everything set up. He started out with twenty or so head of Jerseys and planned on keeping everything small tokeep overhead down. After all that planning and preperation I was suprissed to hear that he sold the cows after three weeks and losing twenty pounds (wasn't a big guy to start with). He found out he hated it, after all the preperaton. If you want this bad enough it's your time and money but, I'd do as the others have suggested and work on another dairy for awhile and wet your feet that way first.
