Well, it certainly brings back memories, since I've done that, but I'm not so sure about that "fond" part. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter, had to be done whether you were sick or well, etc.

...and usually full of crap and pee that of course slings all over your face when they swish the tail. And of course you got knocked on the head if Grandpa saw you wipe the crap off your face and go back to milking. **%$#### we've got to drink that milk!!!

There was a story about a guy tieing the cows legs in place and tieing the tail up out of the way after the cow had kicked the partially filled bucket over and swatted the guy in the face with the cucklebur and other (NATURAL) materials filled swatter, makiing him accidently kick the bucket over also.
This is a family oriented venue and the rest of the story goes beyond PG-13. Sufice it to say, it involved the purchase of a milking machine to avoid divorce.

Some people used spring clamps to keep the tails from flailing about as well as having the legs tied!

Yep, Egon, some people used to use "kickers"; the metal devices that hooked onto the backs of their legs with a chain around the front that fastened into a notch to hold their hind legs. On a dairy, they soon learned which cows liked to kick so they always knew which cows to use them on and which didn't need them. But when I was a kid and saw one of those things, I wanted to get them and Dad vetoed that idea immediately. He said if you ever started using them, you'd have to use them from now on. So he said instead that you break the cow of kicking so you don't need those things.
