Well, they didn't even mention her tail.   My brother had to grab Daisy's tail when he was milking her and trap it with his head against her side so she wouldn't shoo the flies with it.   Does Veronika not know how to use her tail, I wonder?   A cow's tail hurts a bit if she hits you with it.   There is a reason horsetail whips are a thing.

I’ve been BONKED by a cow tail at milking time a few times through the years. May as well hit me with a baseball bat!

I grew up on The Mean Streets of Milwaukeestan, but Mom would ship all of us kids to Aunt Alice’s farm for the summer months to help her out. Free Farm Labor. We cousins were the original Migrant Farmers, LOL!

I helped tend the Kitchen Garden but I ALSO milked goats. I hate goats to this day. Can’t stand their goofy faces and EVIL eyes. Can’t stand the smell of them, can’t stand any goat milk based cheeses. Ugh!
