Normal Friday

This was another typical day of barn chores which started with feeding the calves and cleaning out some dirty stalls. After we finished that we drove across town in the cattle trailer. We did not have a lot of cows to bring back to our farm so we finished chores relatively early so I spent the rest of the day cutting grass before returning to the barn in the afternoon. The cows seemed excited that we are approaching the warmer weather for the month of July and hope to send this rain away!

Today we shipped 5,762 gallons of milk and had one new calf born in the morning.
