Real Life Day of a Dairyman

[@PapaSanDoc]

Being a city boy I never realized how much work it was to run a dairy farm. You and your Dad work your asses off! Much respect to both of you...

[@ROHDEOOO]

Good comment and very true. I farmed for half my life; then changed to office work. No matter what happened at the office, every day was an absolute piece of cake, compared to the farm work!

GREAT job in taking care of the mama that was low on calcium!! You really do catch those fast!! Thanks again for both you and your Father showing us all about dairy farming! We love watching your videos on our large screen TV in the living room with the family!! Your programs are better than regular TV!! Take care and God bless!!

[@virginiaoflaherty2983]

Much better than regular TV. Real and creative.

[@bobjarrard]

The twenty "thumbs Down" are perhaps not interested in watching video examples of hard work, good ethics, honest personal behavior, family values over acting out, and maturity that is beyond the age of most young men of his generation. I for one could not pull the load but I appreciate that we have such an example before us. Many thanks, inspiration comes from perspiration and you have that in spades. Bob Jarrard
