Dairy Farmer's Thankful Thursday

Since 1939, June Dairy Month has been celebrated to promote 

and highlight the important health benefits that milk, yogurt

 and cheese provide and honor the farmers for their daily work that 

provides a steady supply of dairy products.

You would be surprised how many different jobs we may perform 

in one day down on the dairy farm  to make sure we are producing

the highest quality milk .

On this June day,

I was the gate woman as we sorted cattle in preparation for 

turning the next group of pregnant cows  from the 

milking herd to the dry pasture to rest for 60 days before calving.

With sunshine and dry conditions, 

we've celebrated many hours in the hay field

producing quality hay that is used to feed our dairy

and beef cows.

As we continue celebrating the goodness of dairy ,

I'm thankful for my dairy farm family that works  together 

everyday to feed and care for our dairy animals

and

for the dairy cows that produce high quality milk

for your family and mine.

Happy June Dairy Month!
