An average day on a dairy farm
No matter what season it is farmers still have to get up and take care of their cattle, this normal starts at around 4.30am and their day finishes around 6.30 in the evening, that's one long day!
The first this done is to clean through the stalls and make sure the cows are free of germs, and cleaning through the pipes that the milk travels through, insuring that the milk they will produce will be fresh and clean. The cows are then feed and the pips are turned on which starts pumping their milk. The milk is transferred through to a large jar which is then collected and taken to be check through for health and safety purposes.
The farmers then take the cattle out for exercise which allows them to clean their stalls, however in the winter months they aren't able to take the cattle out and instead have to do the job whilst the cows are still in there with them. They then check the cows to insure that they are in their best condition, before the cows are milked again at 4.00pm the pipes are once again cleaned, the process of the milk is then repeated and collected, the cows are feed and the day is done finally!
