Yeah, that's overstating it. I help milk about 60 cows every weekend, and while there's certainly manure involved, and sometimes you get some on you, I've never been "shit and pissed on all day." I wouldn't go straight from the milking parlor to a date without a shower and a change of clothes, but that's true of any physical labor.
- AngryData 2y agoIt is a lot easier to stay clean when you are doing 60 cows rather than 4,500 cows on a rotary milker set 4 feet higher than you are.
- biorach 2y agoYeah I dunno, having seen rotaries in action and knowing a little about the hygiene and efficiency requirements of modern dairy farming, there are several things in your description that don't add up for me
- ahartman00 2y agoI've never milked in a rotary parlor, but I have worked in a farm with a regular parlor, as well as the traditional stall barn. I was way cleaner milking ~200 cows in a parlor vs ~40-70 in a stall barn. Obviously, clean is a relative term here :)
