No matter how cranky people on FR seem now, believe me, it used to be much, much worse. 'Nuff said.

Milk is great, whether from four legged or two legged sources.

I just watched a program about building the Bugatti Veyron. It takes nine cowhides for the leather interior and they use cattle raised at high altitudes, which means no barbed wire fences and fewer insect bites to flaw the material.

New ones are around 3 million plus - V-16 engine putting out 1200 horsepower, top speed over 250 mph. Set of tires, 30-40K. Tuneup and oil change can run 50K. It’s a little out of my price range, sadly.

My ancestors fleeing religious persecution in the Valle de joux of Canton Vaud, Switzerland came to east Tennessee and promptly began to produce cheese for the market.

The cheese house still stands on Washington Pike in Knoxville.

However, since there are mo moose this far south, my sister was never bit

Swiss cattle have short front legs so they can be milked on the level on any mountain. Evolution, & now this discovery proves it.

I’ve milked a chick in the long ago past but alas it’s fading from mammary.
