Capital and operating expenses are of no concern. He can borrow a breeder under the BAI EBCLOP, or take care of the cattle of somebody else, get his share, and start on his own.

The miracle grass can grow on fertile land. One of the best variety is the one that comes from Thailand. It can be grown from seeds but cuttings with 2 or 3 nodes grow best. Free grazing is not recommended. The grass can be cut, when fresh and young to be eaten by cattle in shed, when between 2 to 3 feet in height. The grass can grow in 60 days to same height for another cycle of cutting.. Weight gains can be as much as 1 kg per day, and for milk 11 kg per day. CP (crude protein content, depending on fertilization of the soil ranges from 9.5 to 17.9%. It has DM equivalent to that of corn.
