101 Milk a cow

Week 51:1 

I don't like getting up early on any occasion - especially on holiday but as they say the early bird captures the worm or in this case the early riser milks the cow.

After a great demonstration it was my turn to try and master the art of cow milking. I wasn't off to the best start. I just couldn't get the suction cups to grab the nipples (sounds like the start to a lot of my adventures) . A couple of tips later (Slow and steady - They don't like it when you grab their nipples) and I was back on track and seemed to be able to get all the suction cups on without to much trouble. I ended up very smelly indeed - one of the many 'perks' of the job'.

Thanks to Andy and Cindy for the use of their farm and Joel for his nifty camerawork.

Comfort: When you are that close to a cows bum your don't have much time to react and avoid the smelly stuff.
