Science and Technology

What does a  hospital have in common with a dairy farm?

Both places utilize science and technology to benefit consumers of all ages.

This is Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri. 

It's a beautiful facility that offers state of the art health care.

More importantly, it's a place of caring,comfort  and healing.

My mother received excellent care while at Mercy last week thanks to trained

 professionals and the use of proven science and technology.

It's just as amazing how we use science and technology on the dairy farm 

to produce high quality milk while caring for our animals and the land we call home.

                                                Thank goodness for science and technology!

Dairymom's Thankful Thursday

I attended the Southern Dairy Conference in Atlanta,Georgia this week to learn about the latest current issues and information related to the dairy industry.

It's always interesting to learn  how calves are raised on other dairy farms  and about the latest research that will help us   improve how we care for our newborn calves

 that eventually become the milking cows on our farm.

                                                                               
                        I'm pretty sure the calves missed me the way they looked at me this morning!
                                         (Ok, they might have been looking for their warm milk!)
                               I'm thankful to be back home on the farm and for my family and our
                                       employees that took care of the calves while I was away.
