Greetings from New Zealand.
Information just recieved from "The Palladium-Item" indicates that some of the first US Herringbone milking parlours (1957) were at Straughn, close to Cambridge City, Indiana. One family involved were the Golay's, following a trip, the previous year, to New Zealand.
I am keen to share my extensive DAIRYING HERITAGE research into stoop-less milking (Echelon, Rotolactor, De Laval, Babson, Tandem & Herringbone) with the families of those American pioneers.
E-mail my research account direct
herringbone@hnpl.net and also share your account with a linked post.
Those pioneers were very innovative, for their times, and facilitated great advances in productivity.
