[QUOTE="red dirt shootist, post: 4013987, member: 52708"] I commented earlier about this like I didn't believe it, and I still don't, but I have seen the news, and I still don't believe it. About 45 years ago I worked on a dairy for a short period. We milked about 200 cows, and it was an ass busting job. If you think milk comes from Safeway, it doesn't. You get up about 3 AM, the cows are starting to bunch up and some want to be milked and some don't, you get everything clean and running and start letting the cows in. Then some go right into the little stall and immediately take a huge dump, and it's pretty liquid so it goes everywhere, then they start swishing their tail and you get covered, some of the others stand in the way to block other cows and you gotta go up a level and move them through. Every cow has a personality, and you have to deal with it because Bessy or #185 has got all day, they only do 3 things, eat, get milked, and poop. And you can't believe the amount of poop. When you're done with milking and everything is clean, you fire up the tractor and start scraping the poop out, then get the poop into the spreader, and you know what's next, it's all about poop. And on those below zero nights when you're dead in the sheets, there's a knock on the door and you gotta go pull a calf, and you're going to fall down in the corral in poop 1 foot deep. Milk does not come from Safeway. [/QUOTE]
