If you don't have any experience dairying I afraid you will get snowed under so fast you won't know what happened. Many think when you milk cows that all you have to do is throw some feed in front of them and milk them. It's a long ways from that. I had people work for me (that were educated) that could not recognize a sick cow until they were dead. Something like that just takes experience. I would work on a well managed dairy and pay attention to what is done before you jump into that one. One thing to think about is most milkers don't get paid more than $8.00 per hour, do you want to work for that?
