A dairyman hands over his dairy farm to his son or daughter when he becomes too old to run the farm, and the farm passes hands from one generation to the next for generations to come.
The life of a dairyman is tough and very demanding without vacation or rest, and a lazy man can never be a dairyman however strong he may be.
Almost all the dairymen around the world these days are using the modern methods in managing their dairy farms… using machines to milk the cows, to store and transport the milk, to feed the cows, etc.
