Cow Milking Staunch

[Dani]

This is on the pasture side that leads into the milking barn built out of old garage doors for the cows.

The back slide door should have been left open for more light, but you can get the idea (minus my hunny's finger)

. There is a gate into the staunch that I close once she walks up the wooden ramp into the milking area. It is made out of old wrought iron that was salvaged out of the scrap yard. Once milked out, I release the front gate, which holds the feed bucket, and she walks around and out the door she came in. I thought I had a picture of Betsey in there but I just can't find it right now. I have bleach water in one of the 5 gallon bucket along with clear water in the other. You can also see their utter medicine that I rub on to prevent infections.
