Actually, it is not all that unusual for bucks from high milk producing lines to give milk. Not a lot, but some. And if you don't milk them as needed they can get mastitis and die. The milk they produce has acceptable flavor too. Doesn't taste bucky. At least mine didn't.

The things you mentioned had and have nothing whatever to do with pasteurization. They had to do with the enactment of the pure food laws which is not the same thing. Lots of things used to be added to milk, none of them good. Water for one. Formaldehyde for another. Small amounts of...

You can still buy those things for home use if you know where to look. In fact I bought a new small cream separator on eBay.

I was wrong. It wasn't in England. It's near Bathgate Scotland. Try this link and see if you have any luck. Let me know. https://imgur.com/gallery/QCqfkS7

I don't know. I didn't save the article and now I wish I had. There was an article with a picture posted on AOL just before Easter. These sheep were in bright hues of green, blue, and other colors and the article said the sheepman did this every year for fun. I think it was a vegetable dye...

There is a sheep farmer in England, I believe, who does just that.

A lot of people think that. I just respond by asking them why, if that is the case, the hatcheries hatch all those unwanted roosters. However, if you sex chicks by the shape of the egg, you will be right about half of the time.

I've got two for you. One, there was, and maybe still is, a plant in Ripon, CA that made instant coffee. One city official became upset when he found out the local farmers were spreading the used coffee grounds on their fields as a soil amendment. He was sure the grounds would seep into the...

While transferring from one gender to another may not require pregnancy, developing an udder does. Heifers do not develop an udder until near the end of their term of gestation. In humans breast development is a sign of maturity. In the cow it is a sign of pregnancy. If a cow never becomes...

Maybe. But unlike humans, in the case of the bovine, pregnancy is necessary for the development of the udder. When I find out exactly who is responsible for that cartoon and how to get in touch with him, I have some interesting questions for him.

The color of the yolk is affected by diet. Chickens that have access to grass and other greens produce eggs with nice dark yellow yolks. The coor of the shell is determined by genetics.

Just for the sake of argument, I have seen six teats on a cow. It's not the norm, but it does happen. Usually the extras are removed when the calf is young. One cow on the dairy where I milked had five functioning teats. There were two on one side of the udder and three on the other, and you...

You are right. As I and others have said before, store eggs are not from chickens. They grow and develop in those styrofoam cartons and are never touched by man or fowl before being put in the dairy case.

Gee. I wish someone would say something like that to me. I would love to get out an anatomy chart and have them explain to me exactly how that is possible. I would love to know. By the way, did anyone ask her how often she found layer pellets or crumbles in the eggs she bought at the store?

They come from the grocery store. They develop in those styrofoam cartons and are never touched by man or fowl before being placed in the dairy case.

You had better do that at my house. If you just walk in unexpected and unannounced, you might get shot. I get real cranky when people just walk in. People don't do that to me more than once. Being city folk has nothing to do with it. Some people are fine with people just walking in. Some...

Half and half is half milk and half cream. Cream has a lot of butterfat. However if you look in some stores you can find fat free half and half. Also fat free sour cream. I am not sure how that works, but I think that's what the poster was referring to. I don't know what it is either. Not...

They also have fat free sour cream. I don't know how they do that. I don't wanna know. I don't wanna eat it either.

They still don't grind up whole critters, hide, hair, feathers, entrails and all, for food products.

Think about it a minute. How would they do that even if they wanted to? McDonalds doesn't raise chickens. They don't process them. They buy them from a processing plant. Unless you think McDonalds buys whole chickens, complete with entrails and feathers, from the processor. And why would you...
