Dairy farmer with a commercial pilots licence - go figure...

@kristintbooth That’s just awesome. So many fun memories.

So many round bales today. Beautiful place to be putting in a day’s work.

Milestone day for me. I’m medically certified to commercial pilot standards. Since I’m on the wrong side of 40 the checks are a little more thorough. There is some comfort with regular ECGs to know my heart is working OK.

Last time I flew a small pla… https://t.co/fNjtkdPtlq

Arjeta, my kinda favourite, has been bumped from first place in milk production to third place. This is normal and expected as she is getting later in her lactation and new cows are reaching the peaks in their lactations.

Overall, the cows really seem… https://t.co/qNYVbCL6xt

Poo tank is up. This thing is huge. #slurreystore #manuremanagement https://t.co/FdvQu5BtCa

Fun day on the farm today. After many lengthy delays, the final piece of the new barn project is underway. This is the first part of a giant cow poo storage tank. Is it weird that this makes me happy?

Over 140 years of my family history contained in this scene. So many stories.

One of our neighbours snagged some great pictures of the rainbow over the farm last evening.

Looking forward to some spring weather after all the rain and cool weather.

Jerseys are known to have a little more ‘character’ than the relatively boring Holstein cows. Sometimes I’m not sure if that’s a plus or minus for team Jersey.

All of our cows have learned how to use their free stalls correctly - head first. This on… https://t.co/cffEanRBH5

A most delightful thank you card from one of the film crew that was here a couple weeks ago. https://t.co/qkm4gpPumu

It’s official! Composted manure sales 2023 is underway. The sun has come out and there’s a few nice days in the forecast. Time to wake up the garden. Still $5 per bag, via the honour box on the wagon, or e-transfer to [email protected]

Some days just don’t stick to the plan. Had a fluid level sensor go glitchy on the robot. The service truck had to come in the back way because we had 36 tonnes of gravel dumped on the driveway earlier today to fix potholes. Just as I was getting into… https://t.co/uVhVMTLQKd

@CanadianCowMan I’m aiming to move mine forward too, but also down - under the stall divider.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to Burnaby Lake before. Who knew? Nice park in an urban area. https://t.co/Q68Kxu8bwh

[Matthew Laity @MatthewLaity]

Sent the drone up for a picture of the new barn in the snow. Discovered that the cows do not love the sound of the drone.

A break in the winter weather allowed for a lovely sunset tonight. My cousin next door took this great picture of our farm. The barn in the Center was built back in 1912 by my great grandfather. I wonder how many sunsets it has witnessed.

Silly me, I thought we were done with the snow. I had already put the tractor snow blade away. I wasn’t expecting this much of the white stuff. It is pretty though.

Here’s something a little different. Can anyone help me figure out what I have here? One of the reel-to-reel tapes seems to be what I figure is Chinese Opera. I tried with google translate to figure out what it is but I’m not sure. The best translati… https://t.co/ks11MInK08
