Having said that, I would challenge their idea that daylight has anything to do with when cows need to be milked (at least in the 1950s and '60s. Maybe everything has changed now).
They need to be milked about every 12 hours, especially * "fresh" ones. In December it would be dark during the morning milking, and getting dark soon after the 4 PM milkings began. In the summer, it would be light throughout both milkings.
* A "fresh" cow is one that has recently given birth and therefore has a lot of milk.

I don't know why I'm wasting time arguing with you on this because it doesn't really affect me one way or the other. I go to bed when I'm tired and wake up whenever my body tells me to.
Since you don't like Wiki, maybe you'll believe it from a few farm publications. Maybe your parents were wrong.
