In our days of nothing seems normal,
it is comforting to watch the cows relaxing and enjoying
the end of a hot summer day in the cool of the evening.
Rest is part of the care plan for these soon to be
mamas. To prepare for the big event of birth, each cow is removed
from the milking herd and brought to the pasture to rest for the 60 days prior
to calving. This is more maternity leave than most human moms enjoy!
Our commitment to ensuring high-quality milk begins with
taking good care of our cows and treating them with respect.
I'm thankful for these visual reminders that every job on the farm
and in nature is important in making a difference to our life down on the
dairy farm.
