Description |
The process of producing tuberculin tested milk on Brookside Farm. The film begins with a woman washing and storing milk canisters. A farmer shaves and brushes cows before allowing them out into the farmyard. The cows are lead into the milking parlour, where they are attached to a milking machine and their milk is pumped into a milk tank. Some cows are milked by hand. The milk is brought indoors where it is portioned into milk cartons labelled 'tuberculin tested milk'. Crates of milk are loaded into a van to be delivered to local homes. The film ends with a housewife giving the milk to her baby. |
