I grew up drinking raw milk from our own cow, Suzie. She gave so much milk we had to drink it to keep it from spoiling, in fact I never drank water. Mother made cottage cheese, whipped cream and butter from it. It was fantastic. I still have a glass of milk every night before I can go to sleep.
Suzie the cow. I’ll bet she was like part of the family.
Question: Does a cow need a calf in order to continue giving milk, or does she give milk as long as you keep milking her? Is it the milking process that keeps her giving milk? Will she “dry up” without a calf and without being milked?
