Have you ever milked a cow ?!
Answers: I grew up on a Dairy farm :)
yes I have milked a cow before I worked on ranch one summer when I was in high school and before breakfast I would go out to the barn and milk the milk cow by hand and the rancher's wife had a churn and she would take the fresh from the cow milk and would churn butter.
the butter tasted grate
no-i grew up at the beach
i did!! and a goat for good measure.. but it was on an Amish farm.. it was really fun.. I'm not the best at it but i gave it a good try.. LOL..
Yep, at the California State Fair...they let anyone who wants to take a turn...hilarious when you don't know how to do it. Shot my friend right in the face...accidentally of course!
no my friend had pet cows though and they are very cool. they make funny noises. and they would get sad if you didnt give them attention. btw why are you asking this in vegan section?
Well I tried to milk a cow as my grandfather had a big laugh because he knew the cow didn't liked to be milked. Trying to milk the cow that day was made even more memorable when a tornado touched down within a few yards of us....out of a clear-blue sky. Took a small portion of the roof off the barn.
Yes, I have milked cows - I grew up on a small farm and we had a couple of dairy cows.

I milked a goat once, the whole process feels a little perverse to me.
Not in Many Years...!!
Nope, and I wouldn't. Animal slavery makes me sad :(
No, I'm afraid. But my uncle was cow-worker.
Yes I have. When I was on the farm we milked 8-12 cows. Sold cream and fed the skim to the hogs. Some cows were easy, others hard. Some had two finger nipples others a whole handful. Some summers we used a milking machine because it was quicker. Wintertime we usually milked by hand. It kept us warmer. Springtime I hated the green stripes around the head.
Yes, thousands of times, when I was a lad, working in the evenings after school and during school holidays, and later, as a coal mining student, at one of our local farms. It was very hard work for such a youngster. The big teated cows were easier than the smaller firmer ones. Their tails would slash as you rested your head on their sides while milking them, and some were a bit evil. They used to stand, with all their massive weight on your foot, that was nearest to theirs, as your feet were splayed out to grip the bucket between your knees, and almost all of them would try to squash you, if you went between them and the stalls, to chain them up, instead of between the two cows in each stall. Some, though, were like pets, that came running to you for a pat and a snuzzle of their wet noses all over your school uniform, while taking a short cut through their field, to school. I also had to help them calf. Which, most times, involved standing in a freezing cow shed ALL night, and then pulling the calf out with a rope when the time came. I was often told off by the teacher for falling asleep at my desk.
I also milked goats. Always felt a bit weired though, being used to cows and all. Their teats were so low to the ground and you milked them from the rear, as opposed to the side like a cow. Funny little things!
Always have BIG respect for the old type farmers. The work is so hard. It was a relief to join the world's hardest training of a fighting force, for a rest (well almost!!), but the work on the farm had toughened me up, so I gained my Green Beret with more ease than most of my fellow Commandos.
Not a cow. I think I milked a goat once, but thats it. Don't have much of a farm now.
no never,
Yes. When I was small I spent summers on farm and it was a dairy farm. They taught me how to hand milk a cow even though it was a big dairy farm that was mechanized. Didn't do it often, but I did do it a couple of times for fresh milk in the morning. Nothing like fresh milk and freshly gathered eggs in the morning.
Yup its weird and the milk doesnt taste like it does out of the carton cause it is unpasteurised.
