Having lived on a farm in the summers for many years as a kid, this perspective really hits home. I like it.

Wow...I had no idea they had dairies in FL! When I was married we had a dairy, milked around 70-90 and had a dry herd of 100. (trying to remember back that far!) but we lived out west! :)

That's a hell of a dairy...looks like they can milk several cows at once, we could only milk 6 at a time...

Not very appealing to look at, but there's certainly no denying you've met the challenge. ;-)

oi, not a pretty picture. but then again, I suppose it's not supposed to be. you should sell this picture to PETA or some other kind of org

Ouch!!! This looks like a great joke should be attached to it. Nice shot though.

Very documentary.

That's disgusting and freaking animal abuse. The depth is nice though but I hate it.

After seeing this picture I've re-confirmed my dislike for milk. It's interesting, yes, informative, even, but its too busy and dirty.

Well, original but the fact that the machinery is dirty doesn't appeal to me. That and the only part of the cows you see are their legs.

I like this image, however it is disturbing in a way. Very industrialized business.

Gosh, that doesn't really look all that comfortable for the cows. I'll appreciate them more when I eat my cereal in the morning.

I almost took a very similar shot! LOL Did you taste any?

This has a photojournalism feel to it. I can see the headline "Cows Sucked Dry at Milford Farms" or something like that. Milford? Where did I get that? LOL Interesting and unusual - AND NO COOKIES!!! :~)

I'm not sure I want to see this... but it is a good pic of how things really are.

I think is missing a point of view or interest.
