Milking 30" X 40"




. Milking and feeding the cows were chores done before breakfast.   Mostly the cows were trained to stand still so you could milk them out in the corral.  I had a few that didn’t stand so well, but that’s a story for another time.  We had one cow to milk and sometimes Grandpa had three.  I sometimes counted how many squirts it took to milk one cow.  To get three gallons of milk took around 4000. No wonder our forearms looked like bricks.
