I was born on a farm..
Asking if I have milked a cow is like asking if people breathe.
It’s not easy. They don’t stand still, even if you have them in tie-downs and if the cow is in a bad mood, there’s a 99% chance she is going to try and kick your face off. And that hurts.
It makes your hands tired, your toes can get stepped on and they whip you in the face with their tail. They kick over anything that is around them and ours have a tendency to knock off the milk machines. And they poop in the middle of milking.
As for taste… I guess I don’t know anything else. That’s all we really drink is fresh milk, so I’m used to it. It just tastes like milk to me.
Maybe we just have bitchy cows..
