Farm #3:

This facility milk 1500 head 3x daily. You arrive shortly after lunch and upon
o
entering the milkroom notice the tank thermometer is reading 60 F. Milking begins
at approximately 4 a.m. every day and they finish up at around 10 p.m. at night at
which time the equipment is cleaned and sanitized. Both the owner and the
herdsman have gone to town to an all day co-op meeting and the milkers are
hesitant to let you into the office where all of the drugs are stored. You look out in
the corral and notice several pools of water in the area where the milking herd is
loose-housed. On the way out, you notice the hauler has arrived and is looking at
his thermometer.

What are your actions?
