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.

Repeat
Today's post could be identical to yesterday. Mist on and off all day so it was definitely not a drying day. Joe came and helped milk this morning with Bruce and then they worked on the chopper box again. We have 3 boxes but can only use 2 at this point. The 3rd one will become necessary when we get to the point of chopping seeding later in the summer. The calf that had bleeding from her naval died today. We have no idea what her problems were. She never did eat and would fight when you tried to feed her so everything I got into her was via stomach tube. Sometimes natures plan doesn't make any sense. There are rumors of sunshine tomorrow....we are hopeful : )
