My next door neighbor has a cow.

This is a "Mr. Ed" neighborhood, with normal-looking suburban homes hiding large lots and agricultural zoning. Most of the neighbors have chickens; some have pigs or goats, but this is only the second cow I've seen or heard in 12 years living here.

Ten gallons of milk/day is a lot, for one family. It may be a big, extended family involving cousins and grandchildren, but ten gallons of milk is still a lot.

I wonder whether they'll be making cheese? That would use up a lot of milk.
