Linking to Tweetspeak Poetry…scroll to see video showing how butter is made!
Introducing a bovine named Daisy
she’s a generous cow, never lazy
her milk is a dream
of rich butter cream
she gives away gallons like crazy!
If you remember the Borden cow (“Elsie”, not Daisy), you’ll enjoy this online article.

Oh, moo! 🙂 Okay, as someone who spent some of his childhood summers on a grade B dairy farm in northern Wisconsin, I had to find this enjoyable! But then I have also taught a few people over the years the dairy farmer’s handshake: Thumbs up, link your fingers, invert your hands. Other person takes hold of the thumbs and starts milking. “Glad to meet ya!” Nice limerick!

Glad you enjoyed it, Charley! I think I heard of the milker’s handshake 🙂 Do you remember Elsie, the Borden cow?

Yes, but barely. We had several different dairies where I grew up (Minneapolis). Borden wasn’t one of them.

Just some items… we had a bunch of competing dairies… Northland, Foremost… I don’t remember many of them. Everything but generic. That came later.

Interesting! We used to raise Holstein heifers…now into stock cows. There’s a cheese plant, Agripur, in our local town.
