Abandoned Dairy Farm (???)

Would love to know more info on this. I'm assuming it's a dairy farm, but I don't know for sure. Pretty cool regardless!

Also, what are these numbered cards used for? Reverse image search has given me 4 drastically different answers so far.

Plus, a little snake friend!! 🐍

Yup, somebody went deep into debt for a state of the art milking parlor and loafing shed feeding setup around 1975, you've got to wonder if they managed to pay it off before the next farm crisis :(

I've seen similar to those cards on a magnetic backing used to track how long milk from an individual medicated cow legally has to be segregated / discarded.

Was the spiral down the center of the loafing shed used for feeding?

Those pages with numbers are adhesive tags electricians place on wires to ID the circuit. There are other signs that an electrician was there. All of those new junction boxes. I think that's a roll of Romex in the trough.
