Farm #5:

While in the parlor you can see that the cows are stepping through a footbath. You
inquire as to what is in the footbath and the farmer tells you that he is using chlorine
dioxide. As cows come into the parlor you notice that the person milking the cows is
not stripping the foremilk and checking for abnormalities prior to milking. You are
also curious as to how they milk their fresh cows, because you observe abnormal
milking buckets in the milking area. The person doing the milking explains to you that
they do not segregate the fresh cows from the lactating herd and they milk them as
they come into the parlor with the other cows.

What are your actions?
