Feeding cows is so exacting; there is so much science in caring for the modern dairy cow for good milk production. People think that you throw them a chunk of hay and walk away, but it simply isn't so. And yet, it takes so much information to explain that it is hard to convey in a soundbite. Not having come from a farm, I had the same ideas when I got my first job milking cows, but I sure learned differently fast. My boss paid for classes for me, not on nutrition, as that was not my job, but on fertility issues. I had to understand the workings of individual hormones, such as gnrh, and learn so much science, just to be a sort of assistant herdsman and head milker on the large dairy where I worked. After leaving there to marry my own farmer I went to many meetings and classes, all the years that we farmed, as did the boss, always seeking to learn how to do a better job. People don't understand...how do we explain? Oh, well, it was a great life, and we still have Bama and Moon....threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-82431179690477534792017-01-25T21:07:36.534-05:002017-01-25T21:07:36.534-05:00Vert interesting post!
