Our Tie Stall Dairy Barn

Our small family owned dairy farm in North Central Pennsylvania

It's always interesting to watch small dairy farm videos, as they're so common in the hills and hollows of both Northern Pennsylvania and much of New York. Common but kind of a dying breed as milk prices as low, labor is intense and backbreaking on farms, but milk still helps pay some of the farm expenses.

Milking Cows in Brand New Parlour!

Big dairy farms, with state-of-the-art milking parlors, robots and other technologies are kind of neat, but when it comes down it, dairy farming is pretty much dairy farming, it's still cows, it's still cleaning and hooking milking machines up their teats, feeding them, hauling manure, cleaning bedding pack, etc. I am actually a bit surprised which such a big operation they don't use more milking robots.
