cream they buy from the dairy fr= eezer is real ice cream made from milk (not some kind of frozen margarine).= (The National Post, June 28 2008) NORBCO With Westfalia Surge’s recent purchase of Norbco in= New York, we now have access to the new patented scrape alley pipe for man= ure alleys. This pipe with a slot along the top of it has the ability to di= sperse or get rid of the manure as the automatic scraper travels up the man= ure alley. This can eliminate pools of manure in front of the scrapers. WHAT IT COSTS Residential electricity certainly varies all over the wor= ld.

EXPANSION With the inevitable expansion of herds on many farms incr= easing, the number of cows in the same facility can create some facility an= d management adjustments. More cows means: How can Pacific Dairy Centre help with some of these issu= es? MOVING CATTLE (2 WAYS) 1- = The Knowledge Network recently showed a special ship for moving full grown = cattle from Australia. It could hold almost all of British Columbia’s= milk cows (60,000) on one trip. The logistics are mind boggling. 2 - = Recently in the Gaza strip cattle were moved by Palestinians through tunnel= s (approx 800 tunnels).
