    I worked for a farmer at age 14 that milked cows on a small scale. We hooked the milking machines up while kneeling next to the cow. Looking at this modern day type of dairy does more than blow my mind! The efficiency is so evident that he was right. Don't try to save money on the building. Think long term.

      Hi Jay
      We were a small dairy farm,70 cows.
      We had a pipeline were we would hook upto,we had to go up between the cows(a pair)with a galvanised bucket containing a cluster,and pulsator.
      Then tip the milk out of that bucket into a 10 gallon churn,with a funnel filter ..
      Then wheel the 10 gallon churn down to the bulk tank..Great days..

    from grade 1 to 12 we have
    as the children go farm grade to grade they take part in the farm operation too we push 4h here too on top of the learning to the student will spend more time learning a trade than the time they're in a class they grade 10 and up learning the care of a cow in general able to give a needle to them and made a choice on a drug they may need 4 month with the vet they spend too we have a full-time vet here too they do go off sit to care for other animals too we not hold them form any other work they could be doing
    we have full equipped barns for larger animals for the vets to use too
    we have for mechanics here as will some 4 months class too welding and fabrication too and a lot more after grade 12 we don't stop there to the student can take a trade-up they need to pay for that with their own money if they pass we will give them the money back to them we have a student wanted to be a doctor he worked hard to become a doctor/surgeon to one more year for him

      As someone who hauls milk from dairy barn’s to various dairy processing facilities most of these places are feeding the cows a very precise blend it in mix of hay silage and various other nutritional additives to the cows feed to maximize milk production. Most places it is all about the maximum efficiency.
