Somewhere among my stash of priceless artifacts(junk pile, to wife) I still have the old square-ended shovel we used to muck out our stanchion barn. We tried to anticipate trouble by watching the cows' tails when they were in the barn: one twitch and we had the shovel at the ready. Didn't work when the cow had the scours, so a water hose was used to flush off the big messes during milking. I may have told the story of how my brother grabbed the shovel and got in place behind a big holstein who seemed to always have the scours: right in the middle of doing her thing she coughed and my brother turned green from the top of his head to the toe of his Blue Gooses. (Our dad told everyone that if he hadn't had his mouth open it would have hit him in the face.)
Anyhow, when the last cow was out of the barn the whole floor was hosed.
I spent 12 of my growing up years looking at the back end of dairy cows. Every morning, every evening; there wasn't time for much else. I've got about 10 years on JD---I can't imagine doing that again twice a day for a week.
