This article originally written on Precision Nutrition's website and titled "Cattle Feedlot: Behind the Scenes: , and forwarded to us by The Dairy Network is an excellent article about animal care, organic food, and all the issues that seem to be facing farmers and americans today. I encourage you to read both The Dairy Network article and also the article on Precision Nutrition's website. The writer as you will read is a vegan, with certifications in nutrition, strength, excercise and more.
Vegan Visits a Feedyard from The Dairy Network discusses how we as farmers struggle to get our message across about animal care, and the importance of raising livestock. Cattle Feedlot: Behind the Scenes. by Precision Nutrition and Ryan Andrews is an independent view of Livestock farming. Have you ever discussed or made judgements about someone, something or some practice you've never experienced first hand? Let Ryan Andrew's article challenge you. If you disagree with Ryan Andrew's or for that matter anything in life, please base it on experience rather than conjecture. Well its been in the works for a little while, but Bridgewater Dairy has been slowly planning to implement a strategy to train and retrain every employee on the facility on the best practices when moving cows, or just working around cows. Dr. Greg Crosley of Countryside Vet in Michigan is helping us embark on this project. Beginning with a small video presentation, and ending with a verbal Q & A with the employee's and Dr. Crosley. Our plan is to train every new employee with this video, and schedule through out the year a couple of different training programs. Animal care, Animal Health, and other subjects will be reviewed in this setting once or twice a year. We are excited about this new training, not only how it benefits the animals, but also how it benefits thcommunication among our employee's.
