I worked on a dairy farm in Stroudsburg, PA, growing up in the 70's. The farmer had about 42 Holsteins and always kept 1 Jersey. I asked him about the Jersey one day with which he explained: the Holsteins were the queens of milk production - more pounds than any other breed, and the Jerseys were highest in butterfat, but a lot less in pounds. He said that the Co-op paid for both pounds of milk and butterfat content. I remember that we tried milking three times a day for about a year. There was more milk produced but it didn't offset the labor cost. He started out with 3 Surge milkers dumping into a dump station and eventually installed a pipe line. He had a 2010 JD (I was always jamming gears), a David Brown 1200, and one of them beautiful Red Ms with nfe. When your 15 years old, that was a pretty neat tractor. He always drilled it into my head to never step off the tractor until the pto shaft stopped spinning. To this day, I always wait for it to stop, while I think of him. A hard working man for sure.
