    As we enter this week of Thanksgiving 🦃🙏🌽🥛, I would like to send out a simple thanks to you, the family and all in your industry. We often fail to give thanks for the simple things in life. . .something like a jug of milk, without thinking of the difficult process to bring that blessing to the masses. It's not as easy as just sitting down to milk a cow. This episode is an excellent example of the determination required: early morning start, respect for the animals, careful attention to the nutritional needs of cows, their health and safety, etc. etc. And I love it as you often give praise to the creator for beautiful sunrises or sunsets. Thank you Eric, be blessed, and enjoy this season of Thanksgiving!

    My father has been an AI tech for almost 20 years now. Works for Alta Genetics. Dude gets up at 4:30 milks our herd and then spends the rest of his day driving around 3 counties breeding for a whole ton of farms. It’s a demanding job and I’m so grateful to have a father that hardworking.

    I am just guessing from years ago, but the ear tags aren't all that big. They are in the ear, pretty hard to see from the back of the cow. The end of the cow where all the important work is happening on Thursdays.

    Love watching how dairy operations have changed. My grandparents ran their 80 to 100 cow dairy from the end of WWll to the mid 70s. Basics still the same but how you get it done is much faster and allows for a much bigger and more efficient operation. They had 8 to 10 people working there, just depending on what season. Christmas was particularly interesting at their house 😀. Oh almost forgot, every Sunday everyone stopped working at 11, we had church at the house, grandma was the preacher and the cook. Every Sunday, that was one thing you could count on, like the sun coming up.
