All this talk about milking cows and seperating the cream from the milk brought back alot of wonderful memories of my mother-in-law. She was a very special lady, sure do miss her.
Anyways, she'd milk two or three cows every day, seperate and keep some cream back for us to use and sell the rest to the dairy pool. Gave the milk to the few pigs we butchered (best pork ever!) and a few bucket calves. We fed the calves out with the rest of the calves to slaughter weight, and she got the money from those calves.
She taught me how to cook with cream, and now that I don't have it, some things just don't taste the same. Lord, the biscuits she could make! Haven't had one near as good since she's been gone. My mouth is just watering for one now.
