🐮 Milk & Moo Monday
Once-A-Day vs Twice-A-Day Milking
Did you know some dairy farms milk once a day while others milk twice a day? 🥛🐄
Reasons why some farmers practice once-a-day milking:
• Less stress on cows
• More time with calves
• Better balance for family farm time
• Easier body condition maintenance for some cows
Twice-a-day milking can increase production, but once-a-day works wonderfully for many smaller homesteads focused on sustainability and family life 💛
Every farm is different, and there’s no “one size fits all” in agriculture!
