CONT

Comparer l'élevage laitier à l'élevage allaitant ne fait pas plus sens que de comparer la culture de betterave à la culture de pomme de terre! Néanmoins, il est vrai que tou­tes les contraintes d'horaire et de travail liées à la traite tombent. L'éleveur de vaches allaitantes peut organiser son emploi du temps de manière beaucoup plus flexible.
