The bales are of iron round in shape and when the head enters they close up and a trough of water is kept at the head.There are also wooden bales which are made with a long plank of wood crossing the house and from which hangs two timber posts for the head and are closed with iron pins.In by-gone years the cows were milked in the open air and were tied with chains to a block of wood.
