Okay, so I've never owned a cow or a goat, but here's a purely personal note. I nursed my daughter for over a year, and I can say that there were times my breast pump was a life saver! It was WAY gentler than my ravenous wolf daughter, and it never once bit me. If I were a cow (and honestly there were days I felt like one!) I'd prefer a nice, toothless machine to either a gnawing calf or ice-cold early morning hands. Just saying...
