I actually thought that milk and cream were two different substances - that milk came from regular cows and cream from very mellow, slow-moving cows.
I'm actually learning a lot from this board and have all of you to thank for it.
When we were kids and Dad would take us for a country drive, he had me convinced that white milk came from white cows and brown milk was the product of brown cows. I believed anything he told me when I was young.

I lived on a dairy farm growing up. The milk cows were Holsteins ...those black and white ones.
Chick-fil-A uses Holsteins in their advertising as beef cattle - guess it's too late to correct their mistake now.
But what a big blooper that one is! ... no country folk in their adv./management team apparently..:lies:..lol
In case you ever need some cow knowledge .. photos, etc. ..
here's the scoop: http://www.nctc.net/hazard/photo/cows/ ... more than you ever wanted to know.

The Milkmaid ...
View attachment 1325
Alas, Sifu, you are exactly right.... It would be very difficult, if not impossible, for a City Boy to haul that cream separator up into that tree.
However, a little Milkmaid would just tuck the separator under her arm, climb to the top of the tree (while herding all the goats up and into a nice line), and then she could milk the goat with one hand, as she turned the crank on the cream separator with the other hand. Once finished, she would take her milk bucket and saunter on home with it.
As far as tree-goat milk tasting green, it is certainly no greener than cow's milk, since they eat all that green grass and clover, I think it is those sunglasses you wear that make it appear that way to you, what do you think ?

I'm just wondering how difficult it is to haul the separator up into that tree every day, or are those goats on a pulley system?
And I would imagine that tree-goat milk must taste a bit green ...
Now see, my WAG (wild-assed guess) turned out to be at least partially right! Story of my life!

Oh, now you've gone and gotten me all excited with that milkmaid painting. She reminds me of a certain Incan vixen with whom I had the pleasure of associating in my 12[SUP]th[/SUP] incarnation. We would have been a happily married couple except for the damning fact that she was one of the Heavenly Temple Virgins assigned to the King, destined to fulfill her destiny as a pile of spinster bones at the hind-end of a tomb built on the 23[SUP]rd[/SUP] level of Machu Picchu.
*sigh*
I can well imagine how she could have worked both a goat and a separator simultaneously - her hands were quite capable of multi-tasking that way. I remember one happy time when she was working a yupana (the Incan rope-calculator) with her left hand while with her right simultaneously treating me to an act which, had King Pachacuti known of its nature, would have joined MY bones with hers in holy sacrifice.
As for my glasses leading me to an erroneous color interpretation, I highly doubt that - they are, of course, rose-tinted, so that I may spread the joy and happiness that is Me to the rest of the world. If anything, the milk should appear a frothy pink color through my lenses, which would of course only bolster the Incan sacrificial theme we were discussing earlier ...
