Yeah, especially if the barnyard is deep mud and manure and the messy cow tail switch comes all the way around your head and goes in your mouth! Ick! I usually trimmed my milk cow's tails so that didn't happen any more.
I also had my best Holstein step on all the toes of my left foot when I was wearing tennis shoes. I wore better footwear when I milked after that.
Growing up I hand milked a minimum of 2 cows and a maximum of 5 all the time, usually alone, since my Dad worked in town on swing shift. I didn't hate the job, and actually made pretty good money doing it, but sure got tired of being tied down all the time.
After I went to college, I didn't milk very much, just during school vacations and some during the Summers. And after graduation, I am not sure I ever milked again. I think my Dad quit having milk cows about that time.
But 40+ years later, I still have an incredible grip, and I think that was from all the hand milking. I don't want to bother with milking cows any more--milk is too cheap in the store, and I don't need the company of a milk cow!
