Joe Taylor reminds us that it is a good time for your dairymen to make a list of winter chores that should be done around the bam before spring farm work takes all of your time It’s up to you to make a list that suits your needs, but here are a couple of suggestions; l. List cows that need their feed trimmed. It’s not the most pleasant job, but will certainly pay big dividends. 2. Check the milking system. The vacuum lines may need cleaning and inflation replacement may be necessary. Order necessary supplies. 3. Review the sire lists and select sires to be used in 1973. 4. Review records for tax purposes and decide what records you will need to keep for management purposes next year. 5. List barn repairs that should be done during cold weather. Better take care of this list before the cows get out the broken gate or the water pipes freeze. Your “winter chore” list could be endless so assign some priorities just in case you don’t get to your last item before it’s time to plant corn. KBUTLEH- SAFE Storage!
