Thought you might like to see some pictures from the dairy today :)
I don't really like waking up at 5:30 am every day but I do enjoy the sunrises.
Our dairy barn where we milk twice a day seven days a week and yes, we drink our own raw (unpasteurized) milk.
This is what we call "the pit" where we milk the cows. If you'll notice, the floor is recessed where we stand so the cows are at eye level. This makes it to where we don't have to bend down to put the milkers on the cows. We milk 12 at a time, 6 on each side.
The cows that have just been milked are walking back out into the pasture.
Love this view to the east. It always looks so pretty in the evening when the sun is setting in the west.
I love this picture!
The newest member on the farm, just born today.
Loved your farm photos. I had one milk cow and shew that was hard work. Loved the sunrise & the photo with the hen the best. Figured I would leave a comment seeing as I have read your blog for about 6month now with no comment. Sorry I have been a stalker :) I enjoy your blog thank you.
