You can milk more cows in less time, but it's harder on the cows. Rögni and Systa have older children that work in Reykjavík, but it will be Thörunn who takes over the farm someday. While scraping the alleyway after milking, Thörunn reached over and rubbed the forehead of a brindle cow. Systa and Thörunn had collapsible stools strapped behind them to make putting the milker on more comfortable, but Rögni knelt below each cow.
