We shipped can milk back then and when we were old enough to start being of some help,Dad gave us each a cow and we got our own can number,so we each got a milk check of our own. I think I was 9 when he gave me a Jersey. I probably wasn't that much help in the barn at that age,but I did have to pitch the manure out of the gutter in one side of the barn every afternoon after school at that age. My older sister pitched out the other side. I did as much field work as I could at the time,raking hay,dragging,that kind of thing. When your cow was dry,you still had to do the work,you just didn't have an income from it until she freshened and you started shipping milk again.
My cows seemed to keep having heifer calves so by the time Dad got mad at the milk inspector and quit just before I turned 16,I think I had 9 head with 7 milking or some such thing. I guess getting a milk check since I was 9 was part of what made it so scary to quit milking cows when I was 48.
