Have you heard the saying that there is one in every crowd? I have found this with animals too. There are a few individuals that do not want to do things like everyone else does. This ipicture is taken in our dry cow area. The cows hang out in the old barn until they have their calf. As you can see most of the cows have their heads away from the alley but there are two cows with their heads towards the alley.
Doing thing like everyone else does have some merits. However, change occurs because someone or some group chooses to do something different and it works out better. Doing something different is risky and many times, it is a bit scary.
Here at Cinnamon Ridge, we do not do everything just like every body else. For example:

Here at Cinnamon Ridge, we do not do everything just like every body else. For example:
- We use Robots.This gives us more freedom to do things.
- We put up a lot of haylage rather than baling hay. We have found that there is better nutrition to put up 1st crop hay as haylage rather than baling it.
- We use interns to help take care of the cows. This allows us to give others the opportunity to learn with us.
Doing things different is not bad, but it definitely can get you to be noticed. Our goal is to do things differently when it makes sense and reap some rewards for doing it.
