Cattle Trailer

This is the inside of our cattle trailer that we use to haul dry cows on Fridays and to move our oldest heifer calves from the calf barn to the other facility. Pretty much we use this trailer for all of our transportation needs for our animals! Today we decided to give it a good cleaning before we moved the cows and it turned out fantastic. As we moved the cows it seemed as though they really appreciated our efforts to keep them comfortable and happy in the cattle trailer! The first photo is before we scraped out the old bedding and we had a helper today who thought they were hidden from the camera. The second photo is after we finished removing the old bedding and adding in fresh shavings, what a difference!

Today we shipped 5,488 gallons of milk and had one new bull calf.
