Thank you so much for your weekly column that educates us on matters of animal husbandry.

I am about to retire as a primary school teacher, and I have already made up my mind to go into dairy farming, though not on a large scale.

I am considering hiring a farmhand to help with some of the work.

I am not kin on getting a relative since I understand this is like any other business, and I want to give it the seriousness it deserves.
