I've learned to milk without having to squat all the time!

 

[wynedot55]

thats better on your knees.but hard on your back.

Not so bad as I'm not doing any lifting-pipeline. Plus, I do rotate if the back is tired I will squat and visa versa.

had a friend that milked in a flatbarn for over 40yrs.an it blew out his knees biggtime.he built a new dairy an we tryed to get him to build a harringbone barn.but he wasnt used to it so he built a bouble 4 flat barn.he had 2 seperate milking systems in it.so if 1 side went down.he could keep milking on the other side.

We're not building anytime soon, so I have to make due with what we have.


You know what is really hard on the back?...................Picking 4 rows x 7 feet of greenbeans!
