Dairymom's Thankful Thursday

                                             
                                                                     
                                              No matter where you spend Thanksgiving,
                                                       I hope eating will be a part of it!          
                                                         

We'll be working all day to make sure our dairy  calves and cows 

have plenty to eat just as we do everyday of the year.

I'm thankful for the season of Thanksgiving 

and wish you and your family a very

 Happy Thanksgiving!

Designer Dairy Diet

During today's monthly meeting with the  dairy nutritionist, we were sharing information about the new crop that is being chopped and test results from hay samples  that are being included in our cows'  daily diet.  Our dairy nutritionist could be described as a  cow diet designer!

With the help of our dairy nutritionist, we are constantly evaluating every ingredient that is included in their daily total mixed ration to insure that it contains the right proportion of nutrients for good nutrition and good health.

It's obvious when listening to the dairy nutritionist and the dairy farmer talk about the cows, our dairy cows are greatly respected, cared for and loved.

                                            I love watching our cows enjoy their designer diet!
                     Our dairy cows show their mutual appreciation for receiving a balanced,nutritious diet
                                                            by producing high-quality milk!

Wireless Dairy

Even though I've been frustrated by the lack of internet access  this week due to a "migration issue  with a new server " (that's  internet provider lingo), it never interferes with

Caring for the calves,

Feeding the cows,

Or

Getting the milking done!

                                                It's a good thing our dairy cows are wireless and  
                                    don't rely on internet access to  give us high-quality milk!

Harvest Harmony Down on the Dairy Farm

Watching the boys chop the silage for our dairy cows when everything goes well  is much like listening to three part harmony--it's harmonious!

 

Harvest harmony includes:

 

 

Crisp,cool October weather,

 

 

No machinery breakdowns,

 

Perfect delivery!

 

Three part harvest harmony results in high quality milk!
