Have you ever milked a cow?

    My husband and I milked the cows at 5:30 this morning just like we do at 5:30 every morning.  We grab clean disinfected pails and we milk them the old-fashioned way, by hand.  We're pretty gentle with our cows because it's just not a good thing to grab and yank them.  The bull might like it done that way (or he might try to kill you).  Don't laugh, I've heard stories from farmers about visitors from the city who've tried.

    Blake Shelton tried to teach Jimmy Fallon how to milk a cow and it was pretty funny.

    Anyone who tries to milk a bull needs to be culled from the herd anyway.  

    Or allowed a cushy position in the White House.  Stable geniuses only.

    Yes, I have.  It takes a minute to get the hang of it.

    Yes, a long time ago. Did you know you can just buy it and not have to bother the cow?

    Yes, both by machine and by hand.  Not that hard IMO

    Nope.  But I can tell you exactly how it feels anyway.  I have a great imagination.
