A helping hand
The Hansons practice what is called rotational grazing, moving the herd regularly to fresh pasture for the best feed and the best health of the land. Sometimes the cows figure out a way to go even further afield, so to speak. This doesn’t happen often, but, when it does, the neighbors love it. They gather a posse together to find the renegades and herd them back to the farm. One neighbor, in fact, often comments on how much fun this is and how he always looks forward to helping out. For his part, David also helps out his fellow farmers by serving on the Massachusetts Dairy Product Promotions Board to support the industry and the delicious, nutritious dairy products farmers produce.
