Tuesday night I watched a horrendous video of a farm employee blatantly and purposely beating dairy cows and calves. It is hard to describe everything that I was feeling; I was enraged, mad, speechless, and in the end I could barely keep from crying. That video in no way depicts the way I treat my cows, or the way in which the vast majority of farmers would treat their livestock. I personally can guarantee that it is the worst thing I ever seen or heard of happening on a farm in Ohio, or anywhere else around the country.
