hey there
ReplyDeletefirst of all its a wonderful blog.. too good it is.... and coming to the diary farming thing you are doing is too cool... we are into dairy farming too and we are from hyderabad, india... while checking out some photos i noticed how well organised your barn is and the cow stable too.... no wonder people are willing to visit your barn.. and your idea to make dairy farming a fun tour simply awesome... we are not as organised as you are but will certainly put my efforts to keep my barn clean and tidy.... i think your diary farm is what happens when one love his job..... thank you... keep posting.....lots of respect..
I remember going to the dairy as a child and always loved it. I chaperoned by Daughter's trip there with school last year and it was funny to hear the kids talk about the smells and how the cows feel to pet. But, they do gain a better appreciation for dairy products and how they are obtained. Good educational experience!
