Expensive Mature Milk Cow or Cheap Young Heifer - Which to Buy?

If you’ve been dreaming of having your own milk cow for your small farm or homestead — the question is: do you buy an experienced mature older cow (which is usually pretty expensive!) or do you purchase that young, inexperienced heifer that’s so much more affordable? Pa Mac covers all the facts about both.
