Usually we run the mill for an hour or two and go do something else. The packaging takes place with the mill shut down.goldforestfarms.blogspot.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000577922412768699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30391928.post-70414976416345141932010-08-05T15:49:23.836-06:002010-08-05T15:49:23.836-06:00Do you wear earplugs to operate your mill?

Our old mill that we used prior to the Vita-Mix was really loud.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126648787240509243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30391928.post-28438892838511295402010-08-05T08:14:45.839-06:002010-08-05T08:14:45.839-06:00well I certainly wouldn't have thought of bell...well I certainly wouldn't have thought of bellowing like a calf, but it would have been worth a try. She was a heifer and of course she had no idea what was going on. There were some neighbor dogs that I chased off too so thats my guess. The other cows are good moms and know how to look after their calves.goldforestfarms.blogspot.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000577922412768699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30391928.post-68609257344483556582010-08-04T17:48:48.785-06:002010-08-04T17:48:48.785-06:00"...we lost the first calf...from our heifer...."...we lost the first calf...from our heifer. We simply lost him...looked for days..."<br /><br />I have had a handful of cows that seem to like to wander off from their calves in the first days after calving. When that happens, I usually try bawling like a calf to get the cow to let down her milk, then she will start bawling for her calf, and hopefully the calf will eventually answer her.<br /><br />Usually the cow has a rough idea where her calf is (or was the last time she saw it) and will start moving in that direction once she "remembers" she actually has a calf out there. <br /><br />It doesn't always work, but it is usually worth a try.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412944120622315804noreply@blogger.com
