You guys with livestock, how long does it take you to feed, check water, etc.?
Not factoring in breakdowns, froze pipes or maybe of course that never happens to you.......
When I was the feeder at the dairy I started at 4:15 am and was lucky to be done by 8:30 am.. But that was for only 500+ cows.. They're milking around 1200+ now, and the guy feeding now usually does not get done until between 1-3 pm. That doesn't count the young stock or calves; those are fed by two others and I really don't know how long that takes..
