[Sca-cooks] cattle

All true enough. But the Irish as far as I know have tended to favor cow's  
milk.
 
You can also milk a pig, as far as that goes. No one seems to want to  
though.

Please  keep in mind, that,  while we primarily think of cows providing
milk,  currently goats and sheep are milked in Europe and the US, and
camels have  been milked in the Middle East for years. Also the Mongols
milked horses  (I'm unaware of anyone currently using milk as food
commonly, although  horse milk had been used medically) as well as yak
milk in appropriate  areas. I have no doubt that other large animals
would be milked if they  were readily  available.
