Milk a cow? Yes!

I am checking off all kinds of things from my mental list titled "Things I want to learn or try to do"
I milked a cow this morning!
------------
As we were walking to the stables, we came upon one cow tied up. I asked, "Beateace, is that the one?"
"No, that one is a bull. ". Not a good way to start. 
Around the corner we found the mama and baby. 




Beatrace showed me how to do it. It was easier than I thought. I must admit it took longer than expected and the stream if milk was smaller than I expected. 


I milked her again later and the the guests told me, "That is enough, leave some for the child. "

Watching the process makes you think about where thst milk is REALLY coming from! You know, reality of it all. I have to admit I will think twice next time a drink a glass of milk. ( which won't be soon- not ready to start drinking the fresh milk yet/ I have to Google how to pasteurize it correctly first)
