I have some questions about cows.

And statistically improbable to be an adult female who has neither had a child nor had a close friend or relative who has had a child that breastfed for at least some period of time.

So are you speaking of children or something that we don’t need to hear about.

Well, aren’t you all childfree and edgy? Here, have a cookie.

I just wanna know if cowboys eat cow pussy.

Now, now-- given that NinjaChick was the OP, I can see how she might have taken **McGeek’**s comment re: “…are any of the folks who have posted so far Female” as a slam, viz., “If you were a REAL woman, you’d have a *baby *and not have to ask such questions!”

That said, I think McGeek’s comment’s true subtext was more like, “Are there any girls here who wanna swap funny lactation stories, and the OP was so long ago I don’t know if they were a boy or girl and I don’t really care.”

PS: Wading in to try to “help” in situations like this has gotten me in trouble many times-- more than once I’ve helped the combatants find common ground in their newfound dislike for yours truly. You’d think I’d learn… :wink:

And I thought this thread was about Bovine and not Human cows. MOOOVE OVER GIRLS.

I second what you say. In fact, on first (quick) reading, it was a bit unsettling to me too, since… erm… I’m female? And I answered the OP, and really, no matter how human females use their teats, I’m sure (based on lifetime experience and physiology classes) they do not look, move, feel, or are arranged like those of cows.

Oh, I dunno-- one boob, four nipples? Certainly gibes with my experience.

A cow has a large sack with four individual bulges at the bottom, well defining separate areas where each milkable teat is. It in no way resembles one large human boob with four nipples.

Hello? Fifty three year old woman here. Never had much, if any, contact with a woman breast feeding. Certainly not with anyone close enough to discuss it. Never had a kid, so never breastfed myself.

Is that so unusual?

Ok, well; riddle me this then, all ye who are so wise in the ways of breastfeeding: From this thread, I’ve learned that you’ll have a hard time milking a cow that doesn’t want to be milked (IIUC) because she has to “let her milk down” for the process to go smoothly.

Is there an analogous process, conscious or unconscious, for human females? Can a woman decide not to “let her milk down” if she wants?

If it’s one large sac, does that mean you can milk out a cow from one teat?

Each teat has a separate chamber that produces milk. With the extra teats sometimes they tap the same source and either one can milk out that chamber. Extra teats that supply milk are not the norm. I know I’m not using the correct biological terms. It’s almost impossible to find a picture of a cow udder with extra teats. Teats vary in shape and size greatly.

This shows calves being birthed so it’s icky to the squeamish.Calving pictures and some good views of udders.

I’ve had some experience with barn cats and cow juice. Not much mind you, but it is amusing.
