These cows live in Warwick, NY on a dairy farm. I visited one Sunday and was given a tour and learned about the process of milking and the process of pasteurization. Then I had the chance to actually meet “Daisy” who was sweet as could be.
I met the goats at a fair and didn’t mind the feeling of them nibbling when they first started to eat out of my hand, but then they started slurping and it made me squeamish. I’m really not such a country girl.

My mama had to milk cows by hand, back in the days, and the old folk lore was that if you used a fork to stir your milk, a cow would go dry. She can report that 100 times out of 100 times, it failed to let her sleep in once.

I have always wanted to learn how to milk. I understand it takes very strong hands. Great shots. Thanks for joining the challenge!

It does take strong hands. These cows are all hooked up to an automated “milker” that does the work. 🙂

If ever I have seen a pretty cow, that sweetheart with the pink halter is certainly a sweetie puss. Nice 🙂
