Buying a Family Milk Cow Masterclass

CA$97.00

(Approximately $80 USD)

Are you ready to buy a milk cow, but feeling overwhelmed and don't know where to start? Have you purchased a cow before but ended up with someone else's problem, and want to make sure you get your dream cow this time around?

In this masterclass, you'll learn what to look for in a future family milk cow, what questions to ask the seller, and red flags to avoid, saving yourself time, heartache, and money. Plus, we'll touch on getting ready to welcome your first cow to your farm, ranch, or homestead.

This 90-minute masterclass—taught by Naomi De Ruiter—will be followed by a Q&A session. We'll cover topics like the pros and cons of buying a calf vs a cow, choosing the best breed for your family, guidelines for buying a healthy, problem-free cow (including disease testing), and things to think about before bringing your new cow home, including shelter, feed, breeding, milking, and even finding a vet.

You'll receive a workbook and resource guide and my 50-question milk cow question checklist (digital downloads), as well as access to the recording for 30 days afterwards.
