How's your climate on dairy cows? The Holsteins seem to suffer when they end up in the Southern US, but you've got mountains.

They've been milking cows there for over 30 years. The milk tastes great and they have plenty of customers. The climate seems to work out for them.

Every time we go there I have more questions. They are milking 15 cows a day now. Each gives about 8 gallons a day. They have a milking machine just like the American farms have.

They don't want to answer any more questions about their cows. I make them nervous with my questions.

Heifers are seen on the surrounding hillsides but not in numbers that one would think would be needed for a herd this size.

If there is a chance to get more info on the cows or to get into the barn I'll do so. The farmers are a little freaked out about me asking more questions about their cows.

They have horses too, maybe I'll start asking more about them instead.

Do you think they produce less than 8 gallons a day, Bruce? What would be your guess or is there something else that they might be lying about?

Yes, about a woman who can converse with animals appearing at a farm. The farmer didn't care until she wanted to talk to the sheep. He yells, "The sheep lie".

Bottle of Vanilla Slimfast this morning.
Well, I left the house at 05.05 and knew I'd be surrounded by bread lovely bread until my break at 09.00.
At which time I had a bread roll with low fat soft cheese, and an apple.

breakfast today was pot of tea (no milk no sugar) and wholemeal bread roll, dry, (without any butter margarine or other spread) filled with sliced pork pie.
not just the meat filling, the whole pork pie pastry and all.
tomorrow will be a packet of rough oatcakes and a banana. and tea of course

Special day: Whipped chocolate vodka with heavy cream. I don't plan on doing much today, so I'll probably have Birthday cake vodka for lunch

I want birthday cake vodka.
But instead I'll probably have a SlimFast.

I really need to get outta bed and get to work.
I'm messing about in here instead of putting on make-up. Well, no one sees me when I'm on Bakery, it's not a customer facing position. Hmmmmm. Wonder why I've been transferred onto there two mornings a week?
