10 things you might find on a dairy farm
I've been at a local farm this afternoon spending time with the animals. Hence this list!

350 head of cattle on the farm I visited today.
Some very chunky bulls. Very big animals.
Lots of tractors. But every other piece of farming machinery too. This farm grows food for the cows so need all the kit.
This one wasn't very friendly but left me alone. After being less than welcoming I didn't see it again. I'm sure we'll be friends soon.
The food for the cows is processed on site. It has to be crushed otherwise it passes straight through the animals.
The archetypal farm building.
Lots of different barns. One for the newborns. One for the bulls. One for the dairy cows. Another for the dry cows. A maternity ward. One for the teenagers. Plus a hay barn. And shed for all the machinery.
You definitely need wellies.
This farm sells its milk. My idea of perfection would be a local milkbot. But I don't think that's on the cards.
I didn't go in the milk parlour today. The milk tanker came and I didn't want to disturb the cows. They listen to classical music.
