I know I shouldn't do this and I keep telling myself to stop but I just
can't resist. I know most of y'all are of the age where all the milk
comes from sanitized conditions (you think) and a hand never touches the
udder. Well back in 'the good ole days' I vividly recall sitting under
the back end of a cow trying to get the milk into the bucket. Had the
cow kickers on and all but all too often old bessie would put a foot in
the bucket

I've done my share of milking, but I never had the cow put her foot in
the bucket. I always held the bucket between my knees, maybe you had
it sitting on the ground.

or maybe decide to empty her bowels or bladder while I was
milking.

LOL. You learn to move real fast when the tail starts to go up.
