Today was another typical Monday which I helped give J-Vac shots to some of our cows after taking care of the calves in the calf barn. One of our Jersey cows that we needed to vaccinate with lutalyse was not in the jersey barn so we checked on the hoof trimmer to see if it was her spa day, and we found her! Sometimes when we give vaccinations a few cows on our list might also need to have their hooves trimmed so we will wait until after they get their hooves taken care of and then give them their shot in the temporary holding pen where the cows wait to go back to their assigned barn. We also made a few lists of cows that need to be shuffled around in our second facility which we are planning on doing this on Wednesday to hopefully avoid the rain. There has been so much rain recently as the radar looks as though one large storm has been circling our area for days.
I took a picture of a jersey who was really enjoying her breakfast and happened to toss some silage up onto her forehead!
Today we shipped 5,515 gallons of milk and had no new calves.
