The Story of Milk

Download transcript

Jo North from Droke Farm takes us on a walk through her barn and milking parlour where over 200 cows are queuing for their daily milking! Jo says, “There is a real rhythm to milking; the sounds, the routine. It happens at the same time twice a day and the cows really like that and we have to be really careful we keep them in the same routine otherwise they get quite upset. When you work with them every day you see that they come in in the same order, they come in with the same friends and they form very close friendship groups as well in their herds so cows are very sociable animals and they like to be with their friends and they also like to deal with the same people.” Have a listen now and take a walk with Jo through the daily milking routine.
