Dairying in Isabela


A series of pictures on dairying in this province. What you see here is a carabao (water buffalo) and her calf. The calf is actually stimulating the cow for a minute to be milked by hand by the farmer. The calf is taken away and the farmer proceeds to milk. Carabao milk let down is extremely slow so this methods seems to help but the hand milking is still a significant chore.
