Dairy farming economics.

Income: 100  
Expenses: 75  
Net: 25  
Repayment: 5 years

If you consider the value of heifers, the repayment is 3-4 years.

This is as simple as such. No need to brake heads.

Your prosperity in dairy is in PASU and not in KSHEERA.

Pasu dhanam makes you rich in dairy farming. And not the money you are making by selling the milk. If you understand this, you are a WINNER.
