i think we may be "inheriting" butters the cow from my sister. apparently they are overwhelmed with their now 9-month old preemie, both working, renovating a home, and milking the cow twice a day... of course my response was YES we want her!! we'll see if matt agrees with me tonight.
i just added a new link on the right to "the chatelaine's keys" blog, where i found this helpful little post. while my brother-in-law will be giving us his homemade milking machine, i'm pretty interested in learning to do it by hand (less paraphernalia to sterilize and practice for when the lights go out).
i hope i can convince matt it's a good idea...!
update:
he said yes!! i didn't even have to fight for it :)
now i just need to find out if i will have to chase her to catch her for milking... might need to get the tractor out in that field, if so (the weeds are 4ft high).
