For some reason the cows like to stick their nose into absolutely everything. You must have heard of the saying; curiosity killed the cat? Well, I think this phrase should include cows as well because of the devious personalities that I have seen from these guys! In fact, today at the barn when we had just finished feeding and bedding up all the calves we noticed that all of our Jersey cows were running around like toddlers that ate too much candy and coincidentally knocked down some gates... Luckily when the cows do get out they always stick close to the barn because they simply love eating their grain too much. When we realized what was going on all we had to do was find a replacement gate for the broken one and walk the rambunctious bunch of Jersey cows back to their barn. Oh, and did I mention that it was raining? That's right, it was raining and cold and instead of hunkering down in the freshly bedded barn these criminals wanted to dance in the rain. After the Jersey cows had their fun we walked them back to the barn so they could warm up and avoid any further cold stress. I sure hope the rest of the week isn't as eventful as today!
Today we shipped 4,852 gallons of milk
Today we had no newborn calves.
