    I know how much effort goes in to milk that goes on your bowl of cereal or in your cup of tea. Working on a farm with 300 milking cows starting milking at 5am everyday and not finished until 12 noon is very tiring but also very rewarding knowing that you've provided the nation with fresh milk from a cow and none of this soya rubbish that probably being half way around the world before it get to your table.

    I used to love milking…. 4:30am, (first milk) coffee with milk straight off the cow - but that’s the smallest parlour I’ve ever seen lol, identical to the one we had, but half the size. I loved the sounds from outside and all the smells city people hate. I wish I lived closer, I’d milk for free. I’d labour for free, it’s really nostalgic for me your farm. Hope you’re well Rich.

Do have a time when the leaves change over a few weeks or is it more sudden? Are there winter crops to be planted? Have you sold that beautiful angus calf that you showed us? Haircut looks really nice. Have a good day!

    I hope the dairy inspector wasn"t watching you milking......... he"d be saying he"s not foremilking them to make sure they haven"t got clots in the milk before putting the clusters on. we had a visit from the dairy inspector once whilst we were in the middle of milking........ he stood at the end of the parlour for 10 minutes and watched us milking the cows to make sure we were doing the correct procedure. luckily i remembered to foremilk them before putting clusters on. cows are looking well richard, I"m guessing theres not too much holstein in the breeding, but pushing out a decent amount of milk all the same

    That takes me back my first job leaving school was in an old 4 abreast wooden bale parlour that was once used In fields but had been put in the yard and built round this was In the early eighties when we had a couple of really cold winters and it was bloody freezing to work in one day the milk was freezing as it went from the cow to the jar
    There was no steps in that one cows were on floor level so it was back breaking we had about 35 cows, that was pre-college , post college I went to a huge 400 cow unit on 3 times a day milking in huge herringbone parlour in Chewton Mendip talk about dark ages to modern
