We got to tour a dairy farm and it was actually really fun and really cool! Dad totally geeked out about it. With all the technological advances there are 3 people primarily in charge of 500 cows. They have these automatic milking robots that gather and collect data and then do some predictive analysis (which I actually thought was super legit.) They also have artificial insemination and selective breeding in order to get the best cows. There's this whole algorithm that takes info about all the cows and tells you which bull sperm to use to inseminate which cow in order to get the traits you want. It's legit wild. We also got to play with some calves and I let one suck on my fingers and it felt so strange and was super slobbery but still fun haha! I caught this gem on camera of a cow trying to lick me:
