The Best Ol' Gal on the Block

Chloe, the best ol' gal on the block is giving the best milk around to two inexperienced milkers. Bill and I milk twice a week and find that it is a great time to spend together and talk as we milk. It takes us about an hour to feed and water Chloe's daughter, Clover, 6 horses, and milk Chloe. The horses are fed first as they get a bit grumpy if they have to wait while we feed Clover. Once that is done, Chloe is ready and moves to the milk barn on her own to be relieved of her milk. She is bomb proof, any loud noise and she just keeps on munching on her pellets while we get things ready to milk. She, however, does not like her head to be touched:).
