A day in the life of Kimball

Cows are the most curious creatures. They loved having their pictures taken. :)
This is a Jersey cow

This is the milking barn. Two guys milk together. It takes about 7 hours to milk all the cows (twice a day). Luckily, Kimball only works once a day, but some of the guys he works with do double shifts!!


Kimball deserves a post for multiple reasons, but mainly because he is winning the bread day in and day out by milking cows. He has really enjoyed learning about dairy farming through the Utah State Dairy Management program. He landed a pretty good job at a dairy in Benson, which is west of Logan. Most importantly, he has learned why he is glad he got an education so that come spring he will no longer be milking, but will help manage a dairy. Yay!! Thanks for working, Kimball. And thanks to everyone for buying milk to help out the dairy farmers.
