Madison Oct 3-7

 


we went for a tour of a Rosendale Farm


no pictures allowed except for 2 places


group picture
there are 9 milk trucks loading, they have 13 full trucks a day


first stop was the just harvested pile of corn silage


the centre is 46' or 14 meters high


our tour guide and her boss


her husband and son were going up the pile 
to put more tires on, it takes a few days


so many tires, and this is the smaller pile


there's 100 acre of cement here where the barns
and feed are


they use a lot of custom work for field work


and manure hauling


next stop where we could take pictures is the parlour


they've started cross breeding with Jersey 
to get a smaller cow


the cows they show at Madison are at a different place


they've also recently started milking goats
22.000 of them
