Dear Barbara- We are thinking of getting our first family milk cow here. I've been reticent to be as 'tied down' as a wet cow makes one, but at this point I'm pretty much tied down anyway. (Not getting a milk cow has been pretty easy for this formerlly vegan household.)
How many months of the year has your cow been wet? How much time a day do you devote to milking? Thanks -Allan >Hi Dorothy: >>From my experience and knowledge cow manure(i.e. a female bovine) is by far >the best. And a home milk cow would be la creme de la creme.
