I milked cows for 33 years. Sold them 4 years ago. I remember a neighbor telling me years ago that nobody over 50 had any business milking cows. I kind of laughed to myself. Thought I'd die of old age milking cows. Trouble is,I didn't know you could die of old age at 51. It'll make an old man of you in a hurry. Not just the physical demand,but the demand on you're personal life and especially what it does to you mentally after so many years. I KNOW I had some kind of a breakdown one time,but I had to just keep working through it. I lost the ability to feel or to care about anything. That was a good dozen years ago. Four years now after the cows are gone,I still haven't recovered all the way,but I'm coming around. Those cows honestly did real damage to me. I'll be the first to tell you I'm brain damaged. I have an auction sale bill here somewhere that says "after 20 years of milking cows we have decided to return to a normal life". If you can find some other way to make a living farming without milking cows,DO IT. Run screaming from milking cows before you end up in a rubber room.
