Some **** of a job though, pay for your own fuel and all that. I had farm relief workers on my farm over the years and they had to milk at least 3 herds per evening to make money.

Farm relief!! I did a bit of milking with them but the last time was last yr. Took a call "will u milk in the morning 80 cows lovely man dead handy job you;ll be out in 2hrs" (usual sh1t talk from them)
Went over pissing wet morning and was met by an old but with silage tape and twine holding his wet gear together. There was NO WALLS in the cow shed just that red/white council tape keeping cows in. There was literally a ft of shiite along the whole yard.The parlour was an old stone byre with cobbles on floor and tiles missing from roof. The pit was about 2ft off the ground so you had to stoop real low/go down on one knee to put clusters on while about 5cats looked at you. Had to wash down the parlour with a brush and a garden hose. He then asked would i feed the calves while he fed the yellowest bales of silage ive ever seen, which meant wheeling 2old churns in a wheel barrow across the shiiteto the calf shed which was a lean to off the cow shed which did have walls but had only a wooden post and rail fence seperating cows/calves. The calves were all rotten with scour because the cows would line up next to the fence all day and the calves would suck away to their hearts content. A load of cows werent even sculled. I think i got about 40euro for my troubles minus tax and diesel so about 25. But dont mind me give the FRS a call they will find you plenty of cows to milk.

Find a good farmer and you'll be OK. Any ****ing around with him leave him straight away and go some place else. Plenty of good people needing help also plenty of bad people needing help too.. start with the FRS that would be your best bet of finding one worth staying with...
