[Sca-cooks] milking animals

Maire remarked:

These sheepies (Icelandics) haven't been trained to do anything of  
the sort!
;o) (And yes, I'm familiar with the basics, training, etc....I just  
don't
think they'd appreciate a casual milking or two, and their "shepherd/ 
mom"
isn't keeping them for milk, but primarily for the wool.)

Lol. Well, it could be worse. From my kumiss-msg file:

-----
I have a friend who's family raises Shires, the biggest horse in  
existence,
but she has yet to talk her father into milking one of them. This is a
daunting task on even a horse as small as the ones common to the steppe,
and even more so on one as large as a Shire. She once told me of a foal
their mare had that stood nearly eleven hands at birth. That's a big  
baby.
