Start-to-Finish Dairy Prep at Ortman Farms Bulk Tank, Barn Setup Cow Routine

In Part 1, Michael Ortman takes you through the full prep routine that happens before milking even begins. From washing the bulk tank by hand to bringing in the herd and laying down barn grip, you’ll get a raw, unfiltered look at what it takes to keep a working dairy barn safe, clean, and efficient. We’ll also introduce you to some of our cows by name — like Score, Tiny, and MJ — and walk through how stalls work, how diets are managed, and why every step matters when it comes to keeping the herd healthy. 🧑‍🌾 Become a member: https://membership.ortmanfarms.com 📲 Join the app & online community: https://app.ortmanfarms.com 📬 Get our newsletter: https://www.ortmanfarms.com/#Newslett...
