About the Dairy

On our dairy we have 90 milk cows and about 60 heifers, plus, we feed 23 calves milk from a bottle.  Twice a day, 365 days a year, those calves get fed warm milk, grain, and fresh water.  The heifers and cows get fed a balanced ration and those cows get milked every day.  There is no vacation, but I can’t imagine what I would do without the work to keep me busy.  My responsibilities, or my jobs, are to feed the calves in the morning before school which takes around an hour, and then after school I help my dad milk the cows which takes about two hours.  My sisters feed the calves after school.
