A S some 90 per cent ol the milk produced in ihe Yorks and Lancs. Region is produced in Cowsheds, o f one size or


another, mainly double range, iheir daily cleaning out lakes a sizeable chunk out o f the working day tor whoever has it lo do. and this is a problem.


Whose jo b is it ? The cow-


-mau is paid to exercise his skills to extract as much mi lk from the cows as he can. and he can better justify the name o f cowman i f this is all he does. But it isn't. Usual ly he has to do all the cleaning up together with a multiplicity oL' other jobs connected with the work for which he. as a c ow ­ man, is paid. S h ou ld a n o th e r m a n n o t h a v ­
