We had Konde(sp?) milkers, sat on the floor. small parler with 8 stalls and homemade stancheons that locked at the top. Milk parlor was blocks of cement with 2 rooms. One to milk in and other with tubs to clean up. Milk was pured into a large tub with a pipe off it that went inot other side of the barn and over a cooler with water running in pipes. Milk then went into 10 gallon cans under cooler. there was a gizmo under the cooler so when one can got full it went into another. Cooler had water running through it. We fed silage from an old block silo, with a fork and there was a feed bunk below. As you empietied silo you took out doors. There was a metal tube over top part of ladder to get up silo. ladder was bars on the doors you removed as you went down. We also fed hay, early years was loose in the old barn. My dad and grampa got out of the dairy when you had to go big or get out. We put milk cans under a sprinkler in summer to keep them cold. We milked jersys so lots of cream on the milk.
