[QUOTE="born2run, post: 187169, member: 2498"] Thanks for the response. I managed to throw my shoulder out last night power-washing (an ongoing work there, you can never get that place clean enough) so that contributed to my bad attitude that I am now portraying. ;-) I did write up that Pros/Cons list and assigned each of the issues point values. According to that I should stay there, at least for a little while longer. At this point in time I'm a bit more upbeat. :) Hope you don't mind answering some more questions, because this has been stuff that I'm really curious about for awhile. What time do you start your shifts? Here it's 5 AM, 1 PM, and 9 PM (my shift). Do you interchange employees from shift to shift, or do they pretty work just, 1st, etc.? How do you schedule? A month, two weeks in advance? How are you about days off, or trades? You say you train employees? What do they know how to on a regular basis? IV's? Administer other meds? How stringent are you on who treats IMM? I do an occasional IV upon the herd manager's orders, and have the freedom to IV at will if a cow goes down on my shift. Only drug I am ok'd to give is Banamine, and that is in conjuction with a case of staph. We're all supposed to work at heat detection, but like all facilities I think some take this more seriously than others. :) Herd manager here does no actual AI work, that's all through Genex. He does synch heats, etc. with both the main herd as well as heifers at another facility. He does all the rationing for the 400 milking stock, and does an excellent job of it. I believe this is one chap that needs a big pat on the back for a job well done. Without him that place would not run smoothly. What would your parlor manager do? Just curious here. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. You've definitely shed some new light on touchy subjects for me. Reading your post to Milkmaid...maybe I should tell you that I'm 26 years old, female :) born and raised on a dairy. Had one employer besides my dad before going to this current job, and have a degree in Criminal Justice-Law Enforcement. Don't ask about that last one. :D [/QUOTE]
