A wood-burner keeps everything warm
Wavy and the Milking Room, Dairy Farm, Thrandeston, Suffolk - 28th March 2005
It's getting to the end of the line after generations of dairy farming at the appropriately-named Dairy Farm in Thrandeston, thanks to the price pressure of supermarkets and huge commercial dairies. So on the way back from taking photos of an epic shed clearance, Nosher swings by to see Wavy's caravan and a milking session.

Wavy with a bottle of wine and a piece of wood
Wavy and his caravan home
Wavy wanders off
Dairy Farm's milking shed
Wavy carries some buckets to the sheds
Wavy waters the moos
A couple of cows
Wavy in the yard
A curious Fresian bullock peers out from his stall
Wavy preps some teat antiseptics in the tank room
Another view of the milking room
The cows are raring to go
A line of Friesians looks out
The girls pile into the yard
The moos take an interest in Nosher's tripod
A herd of Fresians mill around in the yard
Wavy in the shed
Applying teat antiseptic
Looking up to the cows
The next cow wanders in
Milk-flow monitors
Wavy grabs a bunch of teat suckers
Wavy with some suckers
The rest of the cows look in
A cow on the steps
