Tim Iwig and his nephew, Andrew Byler, 26, make up part of the chocolate milk-bottling assembly line.
Tim Iwig does a lot of feeding by hand with buckets of ground corn. A mix is added to make up part of the diet of younger stock.
The Iwig's 20-year-old daughter, Courtney, gets up at 5 a.m. to start the daily milking and continues the routine throughout the day.
The Iwig dairy is a family-run operation. Courtney Iwig, 20, helps her father, Tim, and cousin, Andrew Bylar, bottle chocolate milk. Courtney's day typically starts at 5 a.m., when she helps her father with the milking.
Iwig's daughter, Courtney, 20, who does a lot of the chores around the farm, takes care of feeding the young calves.
Part of Tim Iwig's morning is to feed the cattle. He dumps a bale of hay into a grinder and then distributes it to the cattle.
Tim Iwig feeds some of his milk cattle at the family farm near Tecumseh. The Iwigs have operated the farm west of Lawrence since 1910.
A milking machine handles all the work of getting the final product, which is pumped to a holding tank for processing.
