What feed/fodder base do you have (land, green fodder, silage, concentrate) and what is your budget for upkeep? What is the end-market: selling milk to a co-op, direct retail, value-added products (paneer, ghee)? What is your infrastructure: shed, milking equipment, cooling/storage, health/vet services?

Notes from Underground (1864) is considered one of Dostoevsky’s most influential works and a key precursor to existentialist literature. It is written as the confession or inner monologue of an unnamed narrator known as the Underground Man, a bitter, isolated former civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The book is divided into two parts. --- Part I: “Underground” The Underground Man introduces himself as a spiteful and self-contradictory individual.
