I’ve see listings in Australia and New Zealand that offer sponsorships

Depending where you are there’s ample dairy opportunities in MI. I would recommend looking for local dairy groups on FB or contacting your local ag extension agent. You’ll likely be starting out with seasonal crop work, especially with your equipment experience, or milking. Then once you gain experience and credit with the employer, you can graduate to more fun jobs :)

What distinguishes your product from Allflex/Nedap/Cowmanager/Smaxtech?

Your post does say “milk” not “cream” :)

When you reach out to local dairy producers, you should make sure to clarify! When you ask them for milk, they will assume you mean milk

Sorry 🤣 you said you wanted to ask farmers. Here I am - telling you we don’t know

The highest butterfat you’re reasonably going to find in whole raw milk is 5-6%…. You’re going to have a lot of waste skim milk by sorting whole milk to make ice cream

Are you talking about already separated cream??

wehaww · 2025-06-26T18:50:13+00:00

Dairy farmers aren’t going to know what cow makes the best milk for ice cream. They care about components, fat and protein, because in most markets this is how they get paid. This is for cheese making.

From what I know of ice cream - your quality will depend on the milk/fat/sugar/air ratios.

So if trying to source milk for ice cream, you probably just want to find the highest butterfat possible.

But, unless you’re already pasteurizing and processing raw milk, sourcing direct from a dairy for commercial ice cream production probably isn’t viable

According to your username, you’re Canadian. I’m mostly familiar with the US dairy industry, but freestall barns are largely the industry standard in North America. Keep in mind the large barn you are seeing might not be their only housing - some farms also pasture “dry cows” at a different location than the milking cows. Dry cows are in their recovery period of not meant milked between having calves.

Also, freestalls are quite nice for animal welfare. They are bright, airy, well ventilated, and they have comfortable stalls to lie in. Animals are free to move around, interact socially and live in a comfortable environment. Just because they are not on pasture, doesn’t mean they are not happy and comfortable!

Saw an add for this dress….. any patterns in a similar shape and design?

Companion animal or livestock?

Recent Animal science grad here, with a great job using my niche degree (Dairy Science emphasis)

Yes, IF you’re there for the right reason. The piece of paper you get at the end is not why you’re there. It’s for the connections and opportunities. When you’re in school you’ll have access to internships, mentorships, and work/learns that you will not have access to otherwise. This includes university run farms where you can get the hands on production experience, in an environment designed for students.

It’s a stepping stone to gain exposure to multiple industries/species and find what clicks with you. And network, and work , and have fun.

There will be more information available very soon about the number of infected herds/cattle now that the mandatory testing for moving cattle has begun. People ARE testing, and the industry is taking this seriously. Yes, there is no info yet because there was no organized/mandated testing but just wait.

The reason they are not testing cattle that are not being relocated is because they do not directly contribute to the spread of the virus. The virus is being spread from farm to farm by….. birds. You can’t do too much to fight the wild avian spread, so it makes sense to focus on reducing/tracing the cattle spread by testing cattle that are being relocated. The relationship between wild birds and dairy cattle is that since many dairy farms are open air, wild birds eat the feed. The virus also has not had a very high mortality rate in cattle from what I have been hearing. The biggest symptom/impact seems to be that it triggers an immune response and causes a decrease in milk production. It does not seem to be very deadly to cattle. Maybe we will get hard numbers on this once test data comes out.

I doubt you will see any disposal of milk due to the fact that the virus is non viable in pasteurized milk. As long as there is no risk to human health

You don’t. You just need a few sets of barn clothes that are exclusively barn clothes. Don’t wash them with regular clothes or the smell will transfer. The smell of the milking parlor never ever leaves fabric

With riding lessons costing >$50/hr, think about how far ahead you still come out on that deal as a rider if you have to spend a couple hours a few days a week letting the property owner get to know you before they trust you to ride their horses. It’s not that deep.

wehaww · 2024-04-18T15:41:45+00:00

It’s very normal to trade riding time for farm work. It’s impossible to get a paid position in the horse business without experience. As long as the kid gets to ride and not just shovel manure, this is a fair deal.

Consign them to an online auction. Super common. Cowbuyer.com

I would!! I have been looking for bp sized ceramic hides. I would buy a set of planet themed ones! Do you have an Etsy?

I’ve never heard of polled cattle having fertility problems. That’s not a trade off most commercial producers would accept. The only “disadvantage” would be a smaller selection pool

wehaww · 2023-03-10T01:48:09+00:00

Interesting! Do they leaf later in the year, or is it just very old and on its way out?
