Ever since I was a little girl, I have been around dairy cows, and I have worked with my dad, Brian, on our dairy in Shafter, California. Every Saturday morning, I loved going out with him on the dairy in the golf cart to check cows.

Here in Castleford, Idaho, we have freezing weather most of November through February. We always seem to have problems with our water troughs freezing up. It is a never-ending battle breaking up the ice on the water trough, just for it to freeze back up again within hours.
