It's been a ridiculously busy week for me so I haven't managed to get much done and I'm trying to get this article on dairy farming written. However, I have done a teeny bit of reviewing of images. These have no been edited in any way.
All of these photos were shot at John Platts dairy farm in Wimboldsely, Cheshire. They milk just over 800 cows at two different sites and I was given full access to everywhere. Amazing to see
The first calving shed, all calves here are between 4 and 14 days old.
One group of cows on the way out of the miking parlour whilst another is milked.
Looking down the milking stands. They cows were held in by what reminded me of a roller coaster barrier.
This is Gem, a very well loved Australian cattle dog.
I was very lucky to get this shoot and a big thank you to John Platt for allowing to me go around. I am now officially over my phobia of cows as well having spent time in the calving pens and the cow sheds. Not to mention having one stood right next to me while I photographed the milking parlour.
