Milk prices have already doubled, like just about everything else while under Obama. Why should we not expect everything to double once again during the next four years?

I know I do - and I am planning for it quite honestly.

Guess it is time to buy a milk cow for the farm.

“Guess it is time to buy a milk cow for the farm.”

Do not let the Government find out you aren’t processing that milk in accordance to all Government regulations.

What you don’t use yourself you cannot sell.

At age 15 one of my first jobs was working in a dairy barn. Started 4:30 before school. We had these fancy milkers with a suction cup for each teat. One cow had ripped off one of her teats during a winter thaw. After she was all healed and back in line for milking I was at a loss how to hook up the milkers to her, as all four needed to have suction to work. Using the old brain pan I had an eureka moment and stuck my thumb into the last milker. Problem solved. However, after 4 or five days of twice a day milking my thumb was getting really sore and purple. That’s when the girl who worked the other side came over, grabed the hose above the 4th milker when I was hooking up the 3-teated cow, and crimped it. Geesh.
