10 years navy ET active duty ,2 years in reserves to get off the green paycheck,followed by 35 years fixing office equipment. Delightfully retired.

No, they are way bigger than us, but they are not grazers. They are just down the road from us a few miles, they are a freestall operation not grazing. Dan just bought out another large dairy and is aggressively expanding it. They want to be milking 6000 head at that location. The barns they are putting up now are beyond impressive.

I am on East Hill Farms. We are all pasture based. My boss's wife has a small bottling plant where she processes some of the milk for local sale and my boss's father has a cheese plant where he processes a good amount into raw milk alpine cheeses. The rest gets shipped to DFA.

I gotcha, bud. It just came up randomly in the course of conversation, as good conversations often do. So, I just assumed you were at GC.

I'm a training coordinator for our plant. Work for one of the biggest Agriscience companies in the world. I've been doing this for 14 years now. Hopefully another 14 or so and I'll be retired.

Yes, à salvage yard. I get some odd looks when I tell people what I do.

Hey, Savell!

Mostly retired this year 30+ years after started a company in 1994 doing configuration, custom training and support on CAD and engineering applications, mainly for engineering firms, transportation departments and utility companies. Still do occasional short term consulting projects through Mensa for a variety of clients.

I "mostly retired" this year when Zim did, after he put in 40 years with an engineering firm doing municipal design, survey and project management. He has been a professional land surveyor for many years before that. If I follow him, I will never be lost.

Now we are busier than ever!
