Personal Stories
Dairy farmer
My memory of uncle Max as we knew him and my aunty Lill was holidays spent on the farm between Mackie and Meadows. Rounding up cows for milking, driving the tractor while unloading hay feed, and my biggest mistake finding a paddock of cows that were separated from the others letting them out and bringing them with the others to the milking shed. Only problem was they were the dry's. City boy makes good in the milking shed though I was good at cleaning up after the milking.😀
Thanks for the memories
