I'll let you in on a secret; up until now, the MOML has been milking just Once-a-Day , in the afternoons. We haven't been able to send the milk to the factory and all the milk has gone into storage for the calves.
But we now have enough cows in-milk to send it off.
This day was his first day of morning milkings (yes it's dark out there!) and he put a good dollop of milk into the vat for an upcoming tanker collection.
(Cows produce colostrum milk for the first few days and we cannot send it away until Day 5 after calving.)

See you tomorrow,

ReplyDeleteAnother great angle - and fascinating insight. xx
ReplyDeleteLots more work ahead. I didn't realise you had to wait 5 days, but of course that makes sense. You learn something every day.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to read, back to the early starts!!
