The Milking Shed/Cow Byre
This is built of Bayko with the interior base
covered with a slab effect paper. The post and rail fences are
made from bamboo skewers. |

Cows are patiently waiting their turn to be milked. The small side building is the calf shed. The old milk cart has been pressed into service taking visitors on a tour.

Yokes make carrying 4 gallons of liquid a lot easier as they take the weight off the arms but it is still a case of balancing the buckets and walking carefully. Believe me - I tried it once
