I have several posts sitting in my blog that are waiting for a final edit before I publish them. Ok in all honesty there is over a months worth of drafts staring me in the face. And as I was writing all of them something more important kept nagging at the back of my mind. It just so happens to be my favorite thing about Dairy Farming:
Each Dairy Farm Is Unique!
And I LOVE that!
We all live in different places, climates and areas of the Country as well as the World. We all have different facilities, whether newly built or 100 years old. We all have a different herd of cows, from difference in numbers, breeds and personalities. There literally are hundreds of factors that are unique to each dairy farm that dictate the management and decisions that each dairy farmer makes.
So I want you to understand and learn how we do things on our farm and all dairy farms. Where besides those differences, we are all united in a common cause to produce a wholesome and quality product.
Sometimes those factors that make us all unique result in different management or decisions than what I might write about. And that is my favorite thing, that although we are united as an industry we have the freedom to makes choices that best benefit our situation and ultimately the cows within our care.
So whenever you read one of my posts, know that you are reading about our farm as an individual as well as part of the greater dairy industry. Those challenges that we all face as dairy farmers are in every day decisions, and we meet them with arsenal full of information and technology that is always growing and helping us to take the best care we possibly can of the lovely Ladies that produce for us.

Love it! Everyone should be willing to support all farmers and realize that we are all different, in our own way!
Exactly! This doesn't just go for Dairy Farming, but I think all sectors of Ag!
Great post! Point well taken.
I think it's important that folks realize that farmers (dairy and otherwise) DO indeed love what they're doing.
Exactly Barbara! We love what we do and we make the best of the situation we are working with. Pretty amazing when you think of all sectors of agriculture and all the different conditions we have to work with!! Thanks for reading!
