Wow they have changed a lot in the last 40 years. How many are typically on each side now? We had 10 on each side iirc and go 24/7 just enough time to clean the milk house twice a day.
Say it ain't so Kat worked or lived on a dairy. I impressed.
You should see some modern dairys that milk tens of thousands of cows.
Some have carousel's that will milk 80 to 100 at a time.

Yup
Born and raised and lived on a dairy until I was 40 My Grandma sold the land 4 years ago. Went from living on 110 acres which is a lot for California to 1/2 acre.I still miss the cows and not having neighbors.
Nah. It was bad enough I told him if he wanted to marry me, he had to move on the dairy.
Here is my cow Jessica, that I showed in 4-H from 9 to 18. She didn't make the dairy a dime
But, she was my showmanship cow. My Grandpa wanted me to show some of his Holsteins. But, I guess I was even struburn when I was kid She was more of a big dog then a cow. I used to take her off her lead rope and let her follow me around and watch the people freak out :joker:

WHAT does that sign say??? lol
:rofl: Well not only did they have the dairy, but a fertilizer plant also. Since I had the only tame cow, we both got volunteered. I guess that was better then sacking shit in the summers which I did to earn money :rofl:
In our area here a 2x8 ,2x10 and 2x12,s are the most popular but out you guys way they are getting into 2x40 and 2x50's

Kat here are a couple of videos for you the first is Fair Oak Farms in Indiana. They milk 30,000 cows in ten barns. They have turned the dairy into a tourist attraction as well.
