I would imagine the story here is, this guy had to build on to his barn so he could milk more cows. Even then bigger is better. It seems the Amish dairies make it just fine milking less than 50 cows and there are probably very few "english" dairies left that milk less than 50 cows. Those huge facilities are more of a production plant than a dairy. I'm sure the cows don't last as long on the big outfits as they do on a 50 cow or less dairy. I know there are big dairies that take good care of their animals but there are many who don't treat them as a cow but as a machine. I know I would rather milk 25 cows and treat them right than to have hundreds that I can't treat properly. In our area if producers didn't milk more cows the milk truck wouldn't stop to pick up the milk, forcing the small operators to get bigger and many had to go out of the business. Of course the bigger you get, the more expensive machinery you have to have and the more hired help that is required. I guess that's good for the economy of nothing else. Like the old saying goes: " The bigger you are, the harder you fall". Just my opinion, Dick
