Think the DOW would let us milk 'em?

Over the winter (2006) we managed to get the milk room inclosed and were using it to pack the coolers for the Carbondale run which Cindy's Dad did until spring. I took over for the next couple of months. Then Matt Stone showed up. He volunteered to work one day a week and take the run in trade for product. He was our first intern. We would not have made it through 2007 with out him. The big project this year was putting up the coverall barn. My son, Wiley, organized a voluteer crew to set the posts and erect the arches. Then we had an old fashion barn raising get together where 20 or so shareholders helped us pull the cover over the arches. We had a noon meal, good conversation, a lot of hard work and in short order a barn for the cows and hay. Our shareholder have always been very supportive of us, but this really proved it. We are very greatful for all their help! The cows appreciate it too. By fall we had enough shareholders that we were short of milk. In October we purchased 5 more cows from the Idaho dairy again. Matt and Wiley made the 14 hour one way, two day trip. Matt had to leave us then and I took over the carbondale run again. With this last addition of cows and the coverall up, we settled in for the winter.
