Very nice looking milk cow you have there. Sure makes me want another one. I loved milking, and I loved making butter and even more so, loved the cream in and on everything. My milk cow was half jersey and half gurnsey (sp?). She was big, and gentle, and gave us a whopping 5 gallons of milk per day, with 1/3 to 1/2 of the gallon jars being cream. Very rich and delicious.
