I don’t know about the milk, but a sweater from their fur/hair would probably be pretty warm.

How much does it cost per gallon?

“and for the first time in two decades managers decided to try milking the musk oxen.”

Point to ponder...
In our normal farm parlance, an "ox" is a male animal, and the female is called "cow".
So is a female "Muskox" a "Muskcow"?
