Those of you who have dairy cattle and other livestock my hat's off to all of you. I grew up on a small farm in Illinois. But this cold weather the last few days is unbareable. I'm only 49 and like the out doors but I wouldn't want to have to work in it like you folks do. My one brother in law and his 3 brothers with a lot of other hired hands milk over 500 cattle twice every day. He has to get up at 1am to go out and do some feeding, then he gets up and meets his brothers at 4am to start milking. They milk 20 cattle on each side of their new milking parlor it is capapable of milking 24 on each side but 4 stalls on each side are saved for treated cattle. Before their new parlor was built 5 years ago they could only milk 8 on each side and still milked over 500 head. The tractor trailer picks up their milk twice every day. They are cabable of holding 3 days worth of milking I believe.
My one uncle told me years ago that where every you work take a look at the foreman and they will usually always have an agricultural background. How true that is!!
