There is nothing sadder than a down cow, and any dairy guy worth his salt knows this. You know they don't abuse.
Leave a downed cow in the stall long enough and they get up to be milked. If they really are sick, you say a prayer, hope they get up, and if not, it's not a big deal to leave them be. If they don't get up, you know them and you thank them for giving so much and you move on.
No good dairy man ever forces a cow to stand.
Dairy men are lovers, not fighters. Dairy guys deal with pregnant women 24-7. Dairy guys know that life is so precious.
If you find a dairy helper who doesn't respect what is going on, they should get the electric fence in the n tsack. see how fast they get up!
This is why I don't dairy farm anymore. I don't have the heart to be mean to the girls. Now, I am just mean to bottholes who come around and want to taste my hay for their horses, or ask me why I don't use a zero turn mower and just put the whole farm in grass and let it be a "good place" for the birds and ground hogs.
For those, I gladly will make them some chili with woodchuck "filler." For the rest, I smile and nod, and agree that I am a rotten bastage, some of a batch...
What will it be in 30 years?
I just hope I am not around to see where this goes... I have had enough!
