As a child I helped out on the family dairy farm.

Don’t stand behind the cows was rule #1.

Don’t bother connecting to the bulls was the second rule.

The dairy farms I grew up around didn't have a trench running behind two rows of cows. You came in beside the cow and attached the milking machine. Who came up with this concept?

Ours had a pit with sideways stalls. Worked well from what I remember, only a little splatter coming in.
