In Reply to: When Dad quit milking posted by Riverslim on November 21, 2009 at 17:20:08:
My dad started milking in about '49, milk cans on a stand at the end of the driveway. We shipped to Darigold- the driver was a real sour old guy, and my mispronunciation of "Daddy-goat man" always amused my folks. In those days, you could order butter, etc. and he would bring it when he delivered- he was never very gracious about it.
Went to "Grade A" (bulk tank) in about '52 or '53. Dad was a carpenter, and milked in the morning, then to work- usually had a hired man to work the night milking. Most often a high school kid, who lived with us. We got decent production, got up to 40 or so cows at one point, but never enough money in it that he could quit working off-farm. Finally gave it up in about '62.
I liked everything about it except milking. Mom wanted me to be a rocket scientist, so was happy that we quit before I got old enough to want to get into it.
