8. I grew up on a 12 inch stool building forearms like Popeye, but haven't milked a cow in 45 years....

I still wake up early to milk every damn day though!

I would put more stock in your recent research than my 50-year old folk lore, although I maintain that Brown Swiss are the cutest of cows.



You can average four gallons a day, but remember, she'll produce more when fresh than when not, so production can vary greatly from day to day.
