Ah, interesting! I once new a person that grew up on a dairy farm. They said it was quite demanding, but also great for building many different skills: one day you are a vet, one day a farmer, next day all about business... How do you find it?
There is never a dull moment here.  We just had several new calves and we are starting new cows on the milking line.
That must be quite a task. I remember reading somewhere cows are milked one to two times a day, is that true?
Yes!  Luckily we don't have to do it by hand.  We have milking machines here.
Ah, yes, I have heard of those. Apparently today's milking machines are very advanced and extremely gentle, in contrast to those really crude mechanical milking machines of the 19th century that most people think of when they hear the word "milking machine"."
You're right.  I would never want to hurt any of my cows.  I think of them as my beloved pets.
Definitely, and it makes sense. Dairy is a huge industry that helps feed the world and science is so advanced these days. What would you say is your least favorite part about living on a dairy farm?
We don't live close to anything convenient.  If we are missing an ingredient for a recipe, we have to drive at least 30 minutes to any store.
That makes sense, with low population density around farms it is not the most attractive for certain grocers to open up shop. At least you never run out of milk!
That's for sure!  I try to make careful plans for my meals to ensure we don't run out of anything!
