Having been reading Adam Danforth's book about Butchering, this kind of an interesting video to watch in practice. Those pluckers are neat but not super cheap.
It looks like Hourigan's Dairy had a very bad, icy day damaging some very expensive farm equipment.
Big dairy farms, with state-of-the-art milking parlors, robots and other technologies are kind of neat, but when it comes down it, dairy farming is pretty much dairy farming, it's still cows, it's still cleaning and hooking milking machines up their teats, feeding them, hauling manure, cleaning bedding pack, etc. I am actually a bit surprised which such a big operation they don't use more milking robots.
This weekend we head down to move the bulls off of the cows and end the breeding season on the ranch. After a rain delay, we are struck with good luck and bad as life on the ranch continues the only way it knows how.
