These folks have worked with dairy cows in the past, and are adept at low-stress handling techniques. We will consider training those with strong interest but little experience.

Cleanliness of animals, following proper milking procedures, and proper equipment handling are all very important. Milking shifts run 5:30-8:30 AM and 4-7 PM. Weekend availability is a necessity.
