Like he has a lot of money to work with when you have cattle prodtion problems for a digester and generator Chimel
Of course not, but he is losing a lot of money every time a cow does not have its calf or gets sick, and he would probably lose even more, like his farm, suing the electricity company.
I would work on solving the cash hemorrhage from the misreproducting cows first, even if it's just a temporary solution, but ultimately, I'll definitely want to kick out the electricity company if it does not fix their problems, and of course, if it's the culprit.
I mentioned the methane digester because it's the logical thing with cows and it seems to be getting more popular, but it doesn't have to be the fancy integrated and expensive system that you are probably inundated with in your mailbox: A "digester" is nothing more than an old milk or nitrogen tank, or whatever you can scavenge around that does not cost you a dime. Generators are less easy to find, I have friends who bought huge ones from Army surplus, train wagon size, one gas, one diesel. There are ways to build such a system as a DIY. It's just a big gut with a mouth opening for the raw material, a big fat a$$ hole for the digested material, and some PVC tubing to aspire and compress the methane into another tank, a few safety pressure valves and you're good to go. All the gut bacteria needed for the fermentation phase are already present in the manure by the billions per cubic inch. There is a lot of help online to build methane digesters if you don't care about being able to control it with your iPhone.
