so my in-laws are really good, God fearing people. most of them are very successful as well. at Christmas eve gift exchange one of them presented her elderly father a card. it said a goat had been gifted to a needy 3rd world family in his name. they were all pleased. I asked about the program. it seems the give animals to these people to help their financial situation. the goats are not for slaughter but for milk. to make and sell dairy products. very cool!
so then I asked "how are they gonna get milk from a goat that hasn't been bred?"
they said you just milk the goat. it doesn't need to be bred.
I said oh really? is it the same with cows? yes they said.
they just make milk without calving?
yes they said just like cows.
but cows have to valve.
no they don't. just milk them
lmao! it wasn't long before they realized talking amongst themselves that a mammal wont make milk without birthing first. and I got some dirty looks.
