We have a small herd that consist of 45 head of cattle. Unlike most dairy farms, we milk Holsteins, Jerseys, Brown Swiss and Ayrshire cattle, four of the six dairy breeds. We strive to be as organic as possible with our cattle. Our dairy cows are mostly grazed on pasture and fed a complete mixed ration grain free from hormones and milk enhancing supplements. Each one of our cows are individually n

amed and are referred to by name rather than their identification tag number. We strive to make sure that our animals are individually cared for and that is why we strive to have personal bonds with our animals.

A dairy farm is a business.

No matter the size of the operation, we have to make difficult decisions that are in the best interest of the farm.

One example is selling cows. People often ask me how I do it. The truth is, it’s one of the hardest parts of my job. But it is a reality of running this type of business.

What gives me peace of mind is knowing that every animal I sell has received the best care and quality of life I could provide. I take pride in that.

Many people don’t realize that dairy cows make up a significant portion of the beef market. When a cow is no longer profitable in a dairy operation, she is often sold and becomes part of the beef supply chain.

I know this may not be popular with everyone, but it’s the reality of farming. After raising a calf into a mature milk cow, you become attached to that animal. That never changes. However, if we don’t make business decisions—even the difficult ones—we won’t be able to keep the farm going.

Farming requires both heart and hard choices.

Racing the clock to get the old bridge replaced with a new top before the milk truck picked up again!

All I can say is this has been an exhausting 2 day project for us but thankful to have a safe way for our feed trucks, milk trucks, and equipment to get in and out.

I have a lot of footage from this transition and will be making a video soon but for now, this dairyman needs some rest!

I get asked all the time “Do cows like to be milked?”

Dairy cows are creatures of habit. They know at the same time each and every day they are going to be milked. This means at the same time every day they start heading toward the milking parlor and trust me if we’re late they let us know!

Ever wonder what happens to milk after it leaves the cow?

Well, milk is stored on farms in large bulk tanks like this or directly loaded onto a semi tanker truck depending on the size of the dairy farm.

This tank is designed to store milk to a crisp 38 degrees and the milk from it will be processed and put on the shelf in less than 48 hours once leaving the farm!

Holsteins — or the “Chick-fil-A cows” as many people call them — are the most common dairy breed.

While most Holsteins are known for their black-and-white markings, there are also beautiful red-and-white Holsteins too. But no matter the color, no two cows are ever marked the same. Just like a human fingerprint, every Holstein has a one-of-a-kind pattern.

Each color of Holstein is considered its on breed which is why Holsteins make up 2 of the 6 dairy breeds we milk!
