All lactating cows are housed in two four row free-stall barns with sand used for bedding. Each animal has access to her own bed, plenty of fresh feed, water and air.
Animals requiring intensive management have separate locations and are watched every few hours.
Cows that are beginning to calve go to a straw pen and are monitored on a continuous basis for instances where aid must be given. Any ill cows are moved to a separate pen in the free-stall barn where they can be managed and treated as needed. Health care is provided by a herdsman trained in basic illnesses and under consultation with a licensed Veterinarian.
