Did you guys ever get sick?”
Don’t recall ever being sick but I hated raw milk - for four reasons.
First was because I had to milk one of the cows every morning before I went off to school. Do you know that you can NEVER get rid of the smell of cow on your body?
Second was because it was my job to clean the separator. At the time I could swear that there were at least a thousand parts to one.
Third was because I had to churn the butter - by hand! One of the first songs my mom said I learned was “Come butter, come butter” which I would sing during the entire process.
Finally my dad loved homemade cottage cheese. Took me years to forget just how bad it smelled when it was cooking.
I would certainly love to be back on the farm again. But I would not be milking any cows.
LOL!!!
So I take it that you still smell like a cow?
But in all seriousness, I would love to own a dairy cow. Are there any breeds that are small?
