Man! You guys have quite a big spread. My family in the north milked about 15 Guernsey. That was many years ago as they have not farmed for over 25 years now. The Holstein place on the WI/Il border was a big family operation. There were 3 farms where one milked about 30 and the other about 90. They just retired a couple of years ago. It surprised me that you sell the straw to be baled by another outfit that resells it. It has been many years since living on a farm, so this process was new to me. But then, I always lived on dairy which concentrates on the cows. Whereas, you guys seem to be streamlining your operation into beef.
