The only one I question was about if you knew at least one person that had to milk before going to school.

Didn't we all?????

Try gettin any kid out of bed at 5 am these days to do that.
Most of us plowed fields and brought in the harvest all night working in shifts. Those tractors never shut down for a week or more in spring and agin in the fall.

I was that one person. I remember getting up at the crack of dawns early light to go to milk, then go to school smelling like cows (yes I took a bath but the smell gets in your shoes and jackets) and get home do homework, feed, milk, get the barn cleaned up for the next day. (Atleast we we smelled better than those pig farmers kids) :twisted: . We also had a small creamery so everything had to be clean, clean, clean. Funny story, when I was about 13 I put myself incharge of playing with the babies. While the cows were being bred back my dad and uncle would pull the babies off and put into a holding stall in the far end of the barn until they were done. The golden rule at our house was, always make sure the barn doors are shut. Well one day I forgot and we had 40 or so screaming babies running down the middle of the barn, upset mommas trying to get their babies, and grown ups trying not to get run over. Needless to say I got my but tore up not only by my dad, but my uncle. I will never forget it either. And who could forget haying, that was a real drag.
