milking

Many farmers wound up milking at dairy farms in the Central Valley.

The program covers the three weeks of production lost by a cow when it is removed from the milking herd to recover, as well as the seven days afterward when production is still low.

While the cow is milking, she is impregnated.

But I wonder how many other 23-year-olds get up every day at five in the morning for the mucky, and vital, job of milking?

Investments in precision technologies such as robotic milking systems, rotary parlors and wearable health and reproductive technologies can help reduce labor costs across farms.
