Last working dairy farm in Weathersfield to sell off cows

Vermont is known for its picturesque pastures, red barns and grazing cows. But that scenery is getting harder to find.  A state that once had thousands of dairy farms now has just over 800 and another one is about to close. This weekend a farm in Weathersfield is saying goodbye to its cows forever.

David Fuller has owned a dairy farm in Weathersfield since 1977.

"Since I was a kid I've had cows and I just like them," said Fuller. 

And over the past 40 years, he's sold over 50 million pounds of milk. 

But even for this small, family-owned farm, the amount of work put in isn't worth the decreasing amount of money coming out.
