cows
I live in Vermont, which is dairy country, and while I am not a dairy farmer,
I believe it's true that calves are never fed with anything BUT bottles. I
am aware that calves must have their mother's colostrum or their chances for
survival plummet. I am pretty certain that they are fed it, too, or God
forbid a "colostrum substitute", from a bottle. A couple of years ago I
heard Nancy Wainer Cohen at a LLL conference. She remarked that humans are
the only mammals that don't nurse their young. But, unfortunately, humans
are not alone--cows don't either. Life can't get much stranger, can it?
Yours from Vermont where, in every other respect, Life is lovely (though now
cold and snow-covered), Diane Dressler.
