this was a 320 organic herd this was in a 24/48 swing over here I stared as a herdsperson the in later years was put to herd manager. In this time I was milking twice a day in a two man team and then feeding, scaping and bedding when needed. making all the main decision in the parlour i.e. treating cows and not here we was using a vet trail and i was growing the mastitis to see if it needed treating or weather it was safe to leave for it to clear it self as well as making sure other staff was doing the job set to the right stander. Foot trimming the cows that had problems as there was a retain foot trimer here . this involved calving responsibilities and night checks. The farm used Dairymaster and uniform using the programs I was able to drafted out cow for the vet or foot trimming and see who would need to be dried off .
