Milk Barn

My Grandma milked cows in this barn when she was just five years old. She remembers bringing the cows in from the meadow and her dad teaching her how to milk on the cows that were going dry. They had a small tin cup that they would drink the warm milk from.

The hay was stacked in the loft above so they could push the feed into the bunks below.
Full Circle. Everyone had a milk cow back then. Everyone milked.

This picture hold a special place in my heart. Our barn is built with cinder blocks. Has electricity. Pipes, pumps, compressors, and a tank. However, the milk is still made into the same basic staples it was then.
