The dairy heifer barn


Due to an inadequate flash on my nifty point-and-click I can only take photos of youngstock that come out into the sunlight, like this girl here. That's a feedcart on the right, a big mixer that combines dry hay, corn, alfalfa and minerals to balance their diet. The content is different for each stage in their life. You can see a pile of this in front of the animals all the time; it is put down fresh once each day.
