What’s the most important thing on a dairy farm? Milk! And what produces milk? Happy and comfortable cows. Everything done on a dairy farm reflects milk production. It is important for the girls to have a well-balanced feed ration, a comfortable bed, stress free environment and good genetics. Every cow has different needs that need to be met. If you are given a cow with the genetics to produce a high volume of milk, but she isn’t given the perfect environment, then she will not be able to use her genetics to the full advantage.
During the month of July, we had some girls that were clearly showing the results of a comfortable environment.
