    I totally understand having the cows stay inside during the winter or when it’s raining outside.
    I still think it’s important for cows to graves when there’s sunshine outside. It’s good for them and it’s good for people.
    Thank you for your great work!
    Thank you so much for the honesty and transparency! We need more videos like these.

    This is such a wonderful video. The only question I have is how does the milk taste? What’s the flavor like?
    My favorite thing to do when I go to the store is to test out different brands of milk or any other product for that matter.
    You can always tell how much a farmer cares about the food they produce by the way it tastes.

    Great video. I would reconsider swapping Afipads to outside of pit to use during milking, Especially to draft cows. Enter 92 is the code I used before to draft. Other than that, lovely setup!

    The big question is, does this extra expense, high input, high output, high labour system lead to more profit over their old grazing system?

    I often wonder why an operation this size does not form a cooperative with 2 or 3
    other producers and go vertical with their milk. This would be milk cheese and yoghurts. The prince of wales seems to be doing ok with the dairy sales

      @@johnwakley7165 I work for a private company that does milk sampling and data collection for all size farms. The farms don't have to use our service but many do. It is not required by the Govt, as long as scc is below standards. I have done it 33 years and mainly deal with farms over 700 cows up to 4000. I have many farms with AFI and a lot with Boumatic.

      All I care about is how a product tastes. It’s too bad that farms are focusing more on yield, and I feel like believer can be disregarded at times.
      It’s not always the case but it’s the norm.
