When the cows come into the
milking parlor they line up to stand in milking stalls. There are ten
stalls on each side of the barn, so 20 cows can be milked at once. The
milkers clean off the cows’ udders and teats, then attach a milking
machine to their teats. The milking machine doesn’t hurt the cow. In
fact the cows liked to be milked because it makes them feel better.
The
milk goes through the milking machine into a glass jar. Then it is pumped
through pipes that run through the barn to a giant tank. The milk is cooled
as it goes into the tank. The tank is like a big Thermos bottle, the size
of a small swimming pool. It keeps the milk fresh.
