Videotape - 'The MilkingSchool'

Clell V. Bagley DVM, Utah State University

Abstract

We recently produced a videotape here at USU, titled ìThe Milking School.î It contains both English and Spanish language versions (30 and 33 minutes). The videotape is focused on teaching novice personnel how to milk cows. There is a brief overview of milking equipment and a small segment on handling cows. Most of the information is on the step by step procedure of cow preparation and management of the milking equipment on the cow. The goal was to avoid ìtalking headsî and show the cows, equipment, workers and very specific steps - and to make it available in Spanish as well as English.
