Good question!! Umm, every year depends on feed prices, milk prices, and crop production. This year was around $100,000...but $80,000 goes right back into the farm for repairs and overhead costs! So we only get about $20,000 on a good year! (Which really sucks when filling out the FAFSA! Lol :)

I've tried it lol :) And it just tastes like warm milk really lol when I was little we never kept milk in the house, so I would take my bowl of cereal up to the barn and pour some out of the tank! As far as how dangerous it is? If you're raised drinking it like that, then your body is used to it so you'll be okay! Also, our farm keeps a low somatic cell count (how much bacteria is in the milk before it pasteurized)

Since you asked, my mom has lost her wedding ring...twice...pulling a calf out of the mom cow! Lol :)

But in all seriousness, my mom said that it would have to be pulling a dead calf. When an animal dies it swells up and makes it very difficult to get it out.

A weird story is one time we had a calf with two faces! That one scarred my 8 year old self!

Ahh yes!!!!!! I once had a cow name Tippy Toe!! She had a bad foot, so she couldn't run away from me when I would go to pet her!! I remember sitting on the concrete slab on my new phone texting away. She came up next to me and licked my face from chin to my hair! Cows have tongues like a cat, but their tongues are the size of a small cat! Haha! Man I love that cow, I really miss her :)
