We offer the opportunity to run your own dairy business as a sharemilker. Two years of experience are required of which one year has to be on our farm prior to entering into the sharemilking agreement.
As a sharemilker you run essentially your own business within our farm. You provide all labor and most management for all livestock. In return you get a share of the milk (your own check), a share of all female calves (born in our spring calving window), which you are allowed to raise on the farm, and free housing. You sign a three- year agreement and after it's conclusion you move with your cattle off the farm.
We act as mentors, help out where needed, provide most forage, machinery and equipment. The program is designed so that your risk in getting started is greatly reduced (for example in a drought we buy all the feed), you gain valuable management experience and build equity at the same time.
Please write or call for more information and references.
