A dairy farm is an agricultural operation that focuses on raising cows, goats, or other dairy animals for milk production. The farm includes facilities for milking, feeding, and housing the animals, as well as equipment for milk storage and processing. Dairy farms often prioritize animal health, hygiene, and nutrition to ensure high-quality milk. The milk is sold to processors or directly to consumers, supporting products like cheese, yogurt, and butter.

This Financial Model presents a development and operations scenario of a Dairy Farm covering herd size, milk production, feed costs, operational expenses, and product sales. The model helps assess profitability, calculate return on investment (ROI), and guide decisions on herd management, feed optimization, and potential expansion or diversification strategies.
