Routine is part of our every day life on the dairy farm--feeding our cows,milking the cows, feeding baby calves and all the other chores that happen in a day to take care of the land and our animals.One of my favorite dairy farm routines is having a new calf born on our farm. This mama gave birth just a few hours ago and I wanted to share this 'first kiss' picture in celebration of World Milk Day!
Routine for this baby today includes resting in the field with her mama, a bottle of colostrum to provide antibodies to protect from disease, and a name tag placed on her ear. Tomorrow she will be taxied to the calf raising area and become part of my daily routine! You can find more information about dairy routine and what's so good about dairy at Dairy Makes Sense.
Hope you're having a dairy good Wednesday!
