I drink it for every meal and never tire of it. <br /><br />The cattle were gone from our farm by the time I was old enough to remember. My dad raised hogs so milking was a non-issue.

Many of them are as you describe - it is women's work to tend the cattle. Others it is the men.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-55110762571759034882015-09-08T07:56:21.060-06:002015-09-08T07:56:21.060-06:00Like your note.
