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.

Quiet Wednesday
It was a rather quiet day. The heifers continue to lounge in their pen. Milking went fine. Nothing broke! This afternoon I pressure washed 4 hutches so we will be ready whenever the heifers decide to have their calves. We have plans for an early Easter dinner on Saturday so the bets are they are waiting until then. We tested milk tonight. I think honorable mention should go to the cow that was dry for 4 days, had a complete feed change and then aborted twins. She is only giving 62# but given the fact that absolutely nothing worked out as it should I think she gets an A+.
