New Zealand Farm Tour-Dairy

This dairy farmer from New Zealand is with the herd on a pasture paddock. Their unique management plan leads these cows to only be milked once a day or three times in two days during certain times of the year. It’s a system that helps with the cows’ body condition, and is easier on the employees.
