Why I have my own chickens and a Jersey milk cow.
Mmmmmm.. A Jersey. How much does she produce a day?
Nothing yet, impregnated the cow last week.
How was it for you? At least she wouldn't want to share your cigarette
afterwards.
She should produce more
than I can drink. Will learn to make my own cheese products with the
extra. The cheese making equipment is not cheap. I read, not done it
yet, it takes 17 pounds of milk and one year to make one pound of
parmesan cheese. Bessy plays like a dog, wants to be petted and runs
and romps around. Sometimes I get a little nervous around her with
her playfulness and hope I do not get hurt.
I have the same worry when Mootilda bangs her face into the feed bucket I am
holding. Cows seem very rough compared to horses. I am pretty sure she
won't deliberately hurt me but the horns come close.
