    Sparkle of contentment can be seen on a milkmaid’s face- recently purchased automated milking machine certainly makes the whole process faster and easier. And most important, even though taking care of the animals for 7 years already is a hard work (back pains due to milking of the cows, lifting heavy milk buckets; overall dirty working environment) a deep connection between them and a milkmaid was developed. Love and affection can be felt in the barn. Views[328] Well deserved brake. To keep the barn as clean as possible is an endless struggle for a farmer. The dirt is piling up rapidly as animals are kept inside 24 hours during winter months due to the harsh weather. Cows eagerly wait for spring to come: finally they will be free to roam in the fields. Views[300] Milk tasting. During the milking of the cows (which happens twice a day at 6am and 6pm) one of the inhabitants of the barn sits on the milk cans and the buckets patiently waiting for his share of fresh milk. Views[294] A 12 year old village girl is smiling shyly and firmly holds her best friend. The calf curiously tries to smell the kitten. The little trio is tranquil and in peace. Views[611] -17°C. At first sight, a lonely barn stands surrounded by snow and silence in a remote countryside. However, the life inside is in full swing. Nine cows, one calf and little kitten share one roof.
