We in the farming community need to continually demonstrate to the public how farmers show great care and compassion for their livestock.
Illinois Farm Bureau is using its latest issue of Partners Magazine, a quarterly publication that is mailed to non-farming members this week, to do just that. It features an article explaining how farmers work together to care for cattle. Here's part of the article:
Essentially, Jim Kane has created a maternity ward for cattle. The lifelong farmer - Kane owned his first cow in first grade - developed a niche business for other farmers. Called Kane Custom Calving, it offers 24-hour care in a safe, warm and dry indoor environment. The business, near Smithshire, takes in expectant cows to monitor through calving. He then returns a healthy mom and baby to their owners.
