We are a 5th generation dairy farm in Wisconsin. My husband and I rotationally graze our dairy herd and heifers and also raise beef and goats. We are in our mid 50's and are the primary labor on our 60 cow dairy. We hope you find our blog interesting. Sometimes its hard to explain every detail so feel free to ask questions and we will do our best to answer them. This is a daily diary about our life running a dairy farm.

Cattle Shuffle
It wasn't exactly an eventful day but we did stir some animals. We managed to get the gates loose and sell 6 steers. Bruce bedded the yard at Ed's and then we took a dozen animals out of the back of the barn and put them in the yard there. Now the center pen is open and available for the next couple days. The cattle will all get their hooves trimmed in anticipation of the grazing season. It is kind of funny, in fall we get excited about the cows coming back in and then by this point we are ready to kick them out.
