How Its Made - Milk

Most milk sold in grocery stores comes from cows but have you ever wondered how that milk got to your table?  The whole process is a lot more automated than you would think.  Long gone are the days of manual milking in all but the smallest of dairy operations.  Larger dairy farms are automated from the time the cow is lactating to milk collection and once collected the process is further automated for transportation to the dairy.  Here is a short video showing the first steps in getting milk to your table.  Notice that the cow herself decides when she is ready to be milked.  This is all possible due to the automation of the entire milk collection process.  Enjoy!
