Our farm was a dairy farm from late 40's until '70. I grew up in that time frame on the farm, so I guess I qualify as dairy farmer. My sophomore year in highschool I took over and ran the farm while dad was laid up after surgery. Also helped out my uncle on his dairy farm as well. When I was in college, just about to be married over spring break, my future father-in-law was hospitalized after an incident with his bull. I went down and took over his dairy operation until he got out. He did make the wedding. Couple weeks later he showed me the milk checks. No change in production! He was very impressed that a new herdsman could come in and do that. Made a lot of points with my new FIL. (Bull was history by the time he got out of hospital.)
We used DeLaval bucket milkers, uncle had IHC, which were similar. FIL had Surge. Man, I hated those Surge with the back straps. All were stansion operations. Before parlors and pipelines. Sorry I can't share pictures.
Yeah, guess I could say I am (was) a dairy farmer.
Had fun at the 4-H fair a few years back. Kid wanted to teach me how to milk by hand. Had half a bucket before he knew what happend!

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
