Sybil Ruscoe meets Nessie Reid whose Milking Parlour project has led to her living with and milking two Guernsey dairy cows in central Bristol for 5 days.

We also meet the Parfitt family of Graylands Farm in the hills south of Bristol, from whose herd of prize-winning pedigree Guernseys the two cows were chosen. They explain that they've supported the project in order to encourage the public to better understand the demands of running a dairy farm, and the narrow economic margins which make so many family dairy farms less and less viable.

Besides the families who came along to visit the milking parlour and corral set up in a cobbled square next to Bristol's harbourside, Sybil also hears from vegans who express their concerns about the dairy industry and livestock welfare.
