carharttfarmer Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 from the dairy farmer point of view quit yer btchn dealing with calves is one thing try training 20-30 first calf hiefers (in the last 2 weeks) to go in the barn with out a fight and then not to kick the crap out of ya once there in there I can beat that. 52 Holsteins and 19 Jerseys. 3 times a day. And this was on my Uncle's farm who was... well one of those 'minimalist' people. Gas lights, coal stove, and no power at the house until 1982! No pneumatic milkers, it was all done by hand! And the big news was after year #2 we got a General Motors/Frigidare cream separator.... that operated by crank! Never Ever shake hands with an old school dairy farmer. A handshake that could squeeze blood from a stone! thats 30 new one in addition to the 170 old ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
