Have you EVER milked

i have never milked anything dont even think that i would want to milk anything lol... other than a bag of milk that i would like to drink from lol

I have never milked kind of animal. I do not even like to drink milk, so I would not really be motivated to milk something. Have you milked anything?

I have. I have milked a cow before. I used to help a friend of mine after school. We would go to her familys farm and milk the cows. Of course it was all done by machine but I was curiouse to see how it was done the old fashion way. So she showed me. Its not actually that hard to do and isnt gross at all. My favorite part is getting to drink the warm milk. Warm fresh cows milk is so much better than what you get in a store. It is fresh and clean and has nothing in it like preservitives. We would collect all the milk in a big tank and before we went home we got to take a gallon. We would drink some and make butter with the rest. Which is SO much better than store butter. I would actually like to take my kids there and show them how to milk a cow and have them try the fresh milk.

This farm gal sure has done a lot of milking.I worked milking cows after school for two years. My family had goats, cows and sheep. We had to milk our animals before going to school and after I finished my cow milking job, then I would go home to do the milking.

When I was 4 or 5, my aunt and uncle bought a farm. They had some cows, and my cousins took me out to the barn and showed me how to milk a cow. They were teasing me, telling me that if they had a brown cow, they could get chocolate milk. I remember that the milk we got from the cows ended up on the table for dinner, along with fresh baked blueberry pie. I thought the milk tasted pretty good after it sat in the fridge long enough to get cold.

Now, my brother has some dairy cows, but he has machinery to milk them. A few times, the system broke down temporarily, and he had to get some family members to come out to help milk the cows. My nieces and nephews will not drink the fresh milk, they think it's gross.

No, I never have milked anything unless you count pumping bre@st milk for my son.;)
I don't use any animal products so I'm not really interested in getting animal milk for any reason. I've heard it's a little tricky though so I'm not sure I'd be successful if I tried.

No, I haven't. I've heard it's not as easy as it looks.

I guess there's a particular way you have to pull or something. I'd like to try, just to see if I could!

Oh my yes. When I was a little girl, I lived in a foster home up until my dad got me when I was 4 years old. The home was on a hugh farm in Ripley New York.
I called the foster parents grandma and grandpa. Well I would follow grandpa everywhere. I had to be out where he was or I wasn't happy. He took me to the barn one day and sat me on a stool. Showed me how to grab the hanging things (since I'm not allowed to use the real word) and pull. My first attempt I remember getting a face full!! I remember trying a few more times but not being successful. I got up to go and watch him, but he failed to tell me to watch the back end of a cow with the swinging tail!
I stepped the cow moved, swatted me with the tail and I went butt first into the cow ditch. That's a ditch where they push the poop and tinkle into. I remember the smell as if it were yesterday that it happened.ROFLMAO. Oh my what a mess I was. And stinky too.
It didn't stop me from wandering into the barn tho. hahaha. Man I must of been a glutten for punishment!

Yup...grew up on a farm and spent alot of time in the barn with my dad milking cows! It was interesting getting the hang of it as there is a method! I don't think I could do it now though.....nor do I want to! LOL

I was born and grow up in a city. So it's impossible for me to milk any animals before. I can see these animals in the zoo only.
