All the accouterments that are necessary for the milking of a cow.
Bessie, of course. A 12 stall pit (6 to a side). The milk getters (I'll get the real names of these things as I go) that attach to the udders. The disenfectant (the iodine looking contaniner on the left). The vacumn system which runs the whole thing. And the butt guard. (I'll get the real names of these thing as I go on).

My ignornace about this whole business is matched only by my excitement and curiosity. Did you know cows only have lower teeth? I didn't know all cows have horns, not just the males. Their tongues are smoother than a dog's tongue. The have only 4 udders that milk at a time. They are separated from their calves almost from the moment of birth (the calves are fed from milk that will not be processed for human consumption). And that's only some of the answers I was given :)
Now that butt guard thing. I'll be posting more into a separate gallery which will show why it's a good thing there is a stainless steel butt guard thing that the cattle push up against for the 15 minutes or so it takes to get between 40 and 60 pounds of milk from each of them..... I'm in the market for a used 1D.
