Spending an afternoon at the calf barn brings many sights, sounds, smells and experiences.
At around 3 p.m., our second string of milk cows make thier way past the calf barn to the milking parlor. They know the route well and look forward to their eight minute turn at the milking machine.
During their turn, they enjoy a little snack of grain.....it's all good.....relief of udder pressure, a little snack, then turned back out to their corral where they will enjoy some dinner and more leisure time. We've been enjoying a mild summer thus far and the cows really seem to enjoy it. The cooler the temperature is, the better it is for them. The more comfortable the dairy cow is, the more milk she will produce.
