"Original authors: Joe Horner, Ryan Milhollin, Stacey Hamilton, Wayne Prewitt and Tony Rickard, University of Missouri""This guide examines the financial feasibility of starting a 600-cow intensive rotational grazing dairy in Missouri. Data presented here reflect costs and conditions as of October 2020. This model was developed using assumptions, costs and benchmarking information from existing Missouri pasture-based dairies and dairy industry experts. While this farm was customized specific to Missouri, it could be adapted to conditions elsewhere."--First page.Written by: Joe Horner (State Specialist, Agricultural Business and Policy Extension), Ryan Milhollin (State Specialist, Agricultural Business and Policy Extension), Stacey Hamilton (State Dairy Specialist)New 7/11; Revised 10/2
