Our next step is to burn-off the methane. Eventually, we want to be able to capture the methane for energy use on the farm. We need some more testing to see how much methane we can capture and go from there. The cow will take a rest before giving birth again. We've been hearing a lot from you about our new plastic caps.
Some people are very positive, others talk about breaking fingernails.
Just so you know, we had to make the switch. The plastic safety seal machine was unreliable and the stores refused to take our milk when the machine broke down. We couldn't continue with that risk therefore the switch. However, we have been in close touch with our cap manufacturer who tells us they are now going to try a softer plastic. With our next batch of caps we hope to see some improvement.
