He was apparently wanted for embezzling millions of dollars from a Pepsi distributor.

OP probably meant pounds, not gallons. That's what milk is usually measured in. 1 gallon is about 8.3 pounds. Also, milk prices are usually given in dollars per 100 pounds. A typical price is around $15 per hundred, which would fit with the income figure OP gave earlier. A good milking cow can give about 100 pounds a day, which is about 12 gallons, but most cows will give below that, and there's always going to be heifers and dry cows that aren't giving any milk.

We raised a bull once for beef, and my brother and I would wrestle him by grabbing onto his stubby little horns and twisting his head back and forth. He loved it, and would constantly hold out his horns for us to grab onto whenever we walked by. As a calf, we could overpower him pretty easily, but as he got bigger, he got strong enough that he could easily throw us across the barn. I felt bad for him after that, because every time I walked by him, he'd still hold out his horns for me to grab onto.

I wish there were more people like you in the States.

It's actually pretty hard to tell a simulated diamond from a real one unless you have special tools or a microscope. The saying is "the best way to tell if a diamond is real or fake is by who's wearing it". So if some woman who is clearly not very wealthy is going around with what looks like a 4-carat perfect clarity stone, it's probably a cubic zirconia.
