Part of Lifestyle farming -- where one's income is not dependent on agricultural success -- is the ability to experiment. We are attempting to keep a young cow in milk without her giving birth to future calves.

For most of us, the idea of dairy farming is clouded with thoughts of milking both 5am plus 5pm.

When city folk decide to buy a  ‘Lifestyle Block’ so they can live in the country, they imagine how much healthier it will be to grow their own food, including their own meat, milk, with cream, butter and cheese, even eggs.
