We had 200 Holsteins total usually. Cows only milk after they give birth. After 5 -7 calves the cows get loaded onto the butcher's truck. You know how big the weekly shit pile is from 80 - 100 milking cows?
Thats old school - welcome to the 21st century and milking robots.
Each robot can milk 60 cows multiple times per day with no human intervention
