From sunrise to sunset, seven days a week, 365 days a year, a dairy farmer knows no rest. Spend a day with Les and Louise Calder on their dairy farm and observe a typical day’s activities. From artificial insemination to feeding and twice daily milking, come rain, hail or shine, these farmers work from dusk till dawn, everyday.
