Also, thank you for spending countless hours day in and day out for meager pay, just so families like mine can enjoy a delicious variety of healthy dairy products. Today alone, our family has consumed milk, cheese, ice cream, and yogurt.Medders Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147257446708355533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109681358420328680.post-68444048342869995212011-08-11T21:57:52.789-05:002011-08-11T21:57:52.789-05:00That picture is actually a couple of years old, an...That picture is actually a couple of years old, and the baby calf has grown into one of the most promising young animals on our farm. <br /><br />She was fed her mother's colostrum milk for three days after birth before switching to "calf formula" until 6 weeks old. She's never had a single medical problem, so I guess the way we raise our calves must not be too awful. And by the way, the cow in the picture is still around, too.<br /><br />You might be on to something though about finding another line of work. Does talking out of your rear-end on the internet (anonymously at that!) pay pretty good these days?Will Gilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00946903401021760988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109681358420328680.post-87729860799565870392011-08-11T18:18:38.269-05:002011-08-11T18:18:38.269-05:00The photo of the mother cow with her calf is a tot...The photo of the mother cow with her calf is a total LIE! Tell people the truth that that calf is taken to a VEAL CRATE! So you can take the milk intended for it & sell it. How can you be part of that!
