You have the day off?
You're not in the tractor.
How does that work?
My brother's feeding cows today.
Gotcha.
Feeding.
How do you feed cows?
Oh, as accurately as possible.
No, mixing up batches of feed according to the various recipes.
Batch sizes currently range anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 pounds.
Actually, no, 11,000 pounds.
Milk or beef calves?
Milk for the vast majority.
Let's see here.
Acetic acid.
That sounds familiar.
And I think we actually make sure we don't have that.
Right, but there is an acid that I vaguely remember sounds like acetic.
If there's too much of it, it's not good for their digestion.
Fortunately, it evaporates quickly overnight, so if we pull the face off of the silage pile and let that sit overnight, then it'll be perfectly fine.
