Thank you Ronnie. My dad almost begged me for decades to find a better way of life and give up on milking cows but I wouldn�t listen. He hated dairy but only continued because he knew I loved it. Looking back the last few years I think that farm return started to take a hit the most here when I finally opened my eyes and started putting my wife and kids first above the cows and they�re worth it.
