VFE 2 - dairy farm

this would be my 2nd week of farm work during the holidays. destination - dairy farm.... yeap COW MILKING!!! the dairy farm is in busselton, about 3 hours drive from perth.














MOOOOO~~~

it is no big deal really, at least i dun use my hand to squeeze coq teats, the machine does all the work!

every morning, wake up at 6am, get down to the dairy and let the cows in from the nearby paddock.... it was feaking COLD!! winter mornings are the worse, so cold that there is frost on the grass!!!
and yeah, while letting the cows in, u have to pass through cow shit..... about 1 feet thick cow shit, u step in and it takes u greater effort to pull ur feet out!! but thank god for gum boots (pua chu kang boots), if not my pants will be gone burried under shit....
















the dairy
















as u can see in the pic above, we move the cow to both side of the corridor, then in the middle, is where all the milking occurs.
















thats the machine cup sucking out the milk from the cow. so every morning that's what we do -- fixing the machine on the cow. it does looks a bit tight and painful, but the cows dun give a shit... they are too busy eating pallets!





















that's where all the milk will pass by before being stored in the bigger tank.

then after milking them, have to put them back into their paddocks. the farmer move them from paddocks to paddocks everday, so sometimes, we need to cross the roads to get to another paddock.

well i was there for one week, from satruday to friday, and they dun work on friday, so i went to busselton town to look see look see. i visited the busselton jeti, which is a must to go when u are in busselton. the jeti is about 2km long, and i actually walked to the end, and walked back again. almost took me an hour. but it was great!! the sea is so clear, and the weather was nice, and u can see lots of ppl fishing!
