I don't remember #11 but all the others I knew. Milk in glass bottles and cream from raw milk, that was the good old days!

I got a hundred.

Guess that now I'm supposed to feel old or something.

Nah.


Maybe later. Got no time for growing old.

Ours wasn't homogenized, so a treat was the cream off the top on porridge in the morning. I still like cream :eek:
I milked 2 Guernsey cows twice a day when I was 14 ~ 16. We had fresh milk every day. Mom made butter and whipped cream, and a couple times a year she made ice cream.

When I started drinking coffee I loved having fresh cream in it, with some raw sugar.

The cats would hang out in the barn when I would milk, and I would give them a squirt every now and then.

Nothing like sitting on a milk stool...real cold morning, laying your head against the cows warm belly, pulling on those teets and the barn cats standing on their hind legs just waiting for that squirt of warm milk. and on occasion the swat of the manure soaked tail right in your face. Did not even know I smelled like cow shit till I left the farm.

Here's an old sign my grandfather gave me :D

Growing up, the sign used to get quite a few questions from my friends :D

Most of you probably know what they are really advertising :)
