John,
Farm sizes do vary widely, it can mean anything from as little as 600 cows, right up to 2000 cows.
Most places milk twice a day, starting very early in the morning and finishing later in the morning, depending upon the number of cows to be milked, milking then begins again in the afternoon and ends in the evening.
Some farms here are moving to once a day milking, it seems to be easier on both the cows and the workers.
