    This type of viewing should be required viewing for every child in school so they understand the amount of work the goes into producing milk. This hopefully would be beneficial long term to
    helping the dairyman be profitable and appreciated.

    There is a circus trick where the performer has spinning plates balanced on sticks. As the plates slow down, they wobble and fall off of the stick. The trick is to keep spinning the plates up faster than they can fall down to see ‘How many plates you can get spinning.” Eric sure has a lot of plates spinning between vets, feeding the hay chopper, drying up cows, laying in bedding, feeding the heifers, mixing up feed for the dry cows and then for the milking cows, scraping out the alleys and putting up T-111 siding on his office. Did not even stop of a “Dew! Well done sir!

    Another great video. Always great spending time with you as you go about your day to day activities. My father is a retired Vet, and i have seen that operation done many times. Makes total sense in most cases and many of them continue to be productive members of the team for many years. Seems to cause them little if any discomfort. Certainly shows that you take good care of your valuable cows.

We had twisted bowel surgery done on a clydstale mare once. It's nice to see the great care your animals get. I bet the hay chopper guy is kept busy. Nice vid. Peace.
