[QUOTE="J and L, post: 187141, member: 3494"] My fingers are getting tired but worth it for this subject. First we would like to just qualify some of what we have written by saying that things are not perfect here every day. This can be a high stress business, as you both already know, however we have made being a good employer a goal that we feel is important to our success and therfore many things that we do get measured against this yardstick. Born2Run, Our herdsperson does not do ration work but does have a basic understanding of how the wrong ration will cause problems and how to identify those problems. He does most of the AI work on the production groups except for times when he is not working then it would be Linda or myself. I do all the repro on virgin heifers. When we expand we will train one more employee for AI. The herdsperson is responsible for all that goes on in the parlor but when expanded we will select one of the more organized milkers and make them parlor manager. Mostly just a workload thing, but will also serve as an advancement for a well deserving employee. As for herd health The headsperson works with us and the vet to set up protocalls to deal with most usual problems and then all fulltime or regular partime people are expected to follow those and be trained to administer needed treatments. Linda and I are mostly called in as consuntants pertaining to the day to day operation of the dairy herd. How often to see the boss? I would like to say that I see every one every day, but probably doesn`t quite happen. Between Linda and I probably. Hope your days get better---Jerry and Linda [/QUOTE]
