Nice stalls

Ok, I am sure some people are repulsed by pictures like these (or probably just not interested) but having worked in a bunch of operations and having seen even more I can appreciate well kept stalls. Here they used sawdust (I totally forgot to ask where they got all that sawdust) for bedding for the cattle which also makes stalls easier to clean (scooping sawdust/manure cakes is easier than plain ole manure) and clean stalls mean clean teats and happy cattle which can translate into higher productivity. I was impressed one that they did this at all but also that they did this given their location/situation which was out in the boonies (I have seen worse operations in more developed countries).
