Reseña del libro "A Dairy Story: Our journey to cow-with-calf dairy farming (en Inglés)"
For David and Wilma Finlay, the standard farming industry practice of separating newly born dairy calves from their mother was becoming a problem.The sound of cows bawling and questions from visitors to their farm, plus their own growing alarm about climate change and the environment, prompted them to question everything the farming experts insisted must be done. Together, they embarked on a radical twenty-five year transformation, and the biggest change of all? Keeping the dairy cows and their calves together. A Dairy Story is the full, no holds barred story of their journey from conventional dairy farming to an organic, 100% pasture, regenerative, cow-with-calf dairy that's now at the forefront of a global movement to transform an industry. Deeply personal and searingly honest, A Dairy Story is the story of a marriage, a farm, a business, and a fierce determination to change things for the better.
