heres a little story you might like Ali , an old guy gave a talk at a Dairy NZ field day 2 months ago which one of my sons attended . Chap was in a village in Afganistan not far from China , the locals there allowed one cow, one heifer and a calf .At the start of the day one of the local boys gathers up the cows and takes them off for a days grazing . At the end of the day boy takes the cows back to village , cows then go back to their own homes by themselves to their calves , pushing through a one way door for the night . Not sure what breed as I was not told .

I always thought that buffalos were alittle big to be milked , wild comes to mind as well or just angry might be a better word . There are a few here crossed with angus I think , beefalos . I have read where they don't like being moved . All rush into a big huddle . laugh

I left school to work on a dairy farm milking 90 odd mostly first cross cows, it also had a 15 sow piggery. I worked for the 29% Share Milker for 30 shillings a week.
29% Share Farmer purchased 29% of the owners cows and owned half the pigs, the Share Farmer was responsible for all the milking and livestock management, other work like fencing i think got paid for his time by the owner.
In those days the milk was taken to a farmer owned cooperative dairy company, the company made cheese that was mostly exported to the UK. The milk was taken every morning to the dairy factory in milk cans and whey from yesterday days milk was brought back on return for the pigs.

Later i had occasion to milk cows in Switzerland, 27 Brown Swiss cows that lived the whole winter in a million dollar barn, the cows spent 24 \ 7 with chain each side of her head, standing or sitting on a rubber mat, in front her was tough that three or times a day i forked hay into.
Behind her was drain with automatic sweeper device the dung and poo got swept along into do underground tanks. From time to time the Stick-Stuff from the tanks was spread on-top a nearby paddock covered in snow.

My duties included bushing each cow every day and forking the hay, together with few the village folks we got stoned, and yarned as we hand milked the cows. Every now and then we let the cows out to play in the snow outside for an hour or so.
This link goes to a photo taken later by someone else, of the very cows and barn in the Swiss i really enjoyed my time in

Im not a farmer but this might give you an insight Ali...


A Queensland farmer got in his Truck and drove to a neighboring farm and knocked at the farmhouse door. A young boy, about nine, opened the door.
'Is your Dad home'? the farmer asked.
'Sorry mate, he isn't' the boy replied. 'He went into town.'
'Well,' said the farmer, 'Is your Mum here'?
'No, mate, she's not here either. She went into town with Dad.'
'How about your brother, Greg? Is he here'?
'He went with Mum and Dad.'
The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.
'Is there anything I can do for ya'? the boy asked politely. 'I know where all the tools are if you want to borrow any, or maybe, I could take a message for Dad.'
'Well,' said the farmer uncomfortably, 'I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Greg getting my daughter pregnant.'
The boy considered for a moment.
'You'd have to talk to Dad about that,' he finally conceded. 'If it helps you any, I know that Dad charges $200 for the bull and $150 for the pig, but I really don't know how much he would be asking for Greg.'wine

A Pakistanie farmer named li goes to Australia for a vacation. There he meets an Aussie farmer named miz Kizzy and gets talking. The Aussie shows off her big wheat field and the Pakistan farmer says, "Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large." Then they walk around the ranch a little, and Miz Kizzy shows off her herd of cattle. Pakistanie Ali immediately says, "We have Buffalos that are at least twice as large as your cows." The conversation has, meanwhile, almost died when Ali sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field. He asks, "And what are those?" Kizzy, fed up with Ali's bragging replies with an incredulous look, "What, don't you have any grasshoppers in Pakistan????
