Boettcher family runs three daily milkings aided by sons
The Boettchers switched to milking cows three times daily at 10 pm 7 am and 3 pm. In June 25 of 60 cows produced 10 to 15 percent more milk, and in July 15 more cows added 5 to 10 percent gains. Overall 41 cows produced more milk though butterfat dropped due to heat. They faced earlier electrical issues causing mastitis and losses, now rebuilding with younger cows. Milking shifts include two neighbors on Sundays and son Eric and Marc balance farm work with sports. Each son records hours on job cards earning five dollars per hour, about 200 hours monthly.
