Introduction:
Attention-Getter: While I spent my early years growing up in Northern California, my family owned a house surrounded by countryside and farmland. I have many fond memories of my grandpa bringing me on adventures, especially ones that involved animals.

I. Preparation Before Milking the Cow
A. You must first start the preparation.
1. The person that will be milking the cow needs to wear latex gloves.
2. They must change their gloves several times during the process.
B. The person milking the cow and the cow’s teats must be sanitized.
1. The cow’s teats are sanitized by a process called a per-dip.
2. The cow’s udder hair must be trimmed or remove to prevent contamination.
C. The cow needs to be tested by a process called foremilk stripping.
1. Milk is squirted into strip cups or onto the floor.
2. The person milking the cow must look for flakes or clots which might mean that the milk have a form of mastitis.
Now that you have prepped and sanitized the cow, let’s apply the milking machine.

Industrial-like stairs along one wall lead up to the second floor, where visitors can view the milking process. Cows are milked at the milking parlor daily from 4 to 6 am and 4 to 6 pm. This immaculate parlor can milk 16 cows at one time and contains state of the art milking equipment including an energy-efficient pre-cooling system, which the milk passes through before being stored in two 3,000-gallon bulk tanks. The physiology laboratory is used for artificial insemination, feed analysis, and dairy biotechnology courses. Students perform experiments such as embryo manipulation and transfer techniques in this laboratory.

The idea of pasteurizing milk bagan in the 1920s, and later became an aspect of everyday life in the 1950s. Milk that has undergone this process is normally prefered since it is sterilized, therefore lowering the chance of human illness. However, it’s not the 1950s anymore, and the idea of pasteurizing milk has lost its luster for the people that now prefer raw milk. Unlike the milk that most Americans consume, raw milk has not been pasteurized, or quickly heated to a high temperature to kill harmful bacteria. In raw milk, these bacterias haven’t been removed, leaving people at risk. E. Coli, salmonella, and listeria are only some of the bacteria that raw milk carries, all of which can cause sickness, or even death. Common affects of consuming raw milk are diarrhea, stomach cramping, and vomiting, but it's the rare ones: kidney failure,paralysis, and death that causes raw milk to be illegal in half of the states and illegal to carry over state lines in its final form. Nevertheless, people still actively seek out and consume raw milk because they believe its nutritional values to be greater. Controversies surround this topic on whether organic food

Milk is a common drink at any time of the day, and undeniably one of the most popular. Milk does not come in just a liquid form, it is also included in many different foods. When asked about milk most people will say it is good for your bones, supplies calcium, and comes from a cow. Although milk does give the body calcium which allows less to be absorbed from the bones, pasteurization takes out many other vitamins that could help the body (Historical). This includes thiamine, vitamin B12, and vitamin C. And actually while all milk is based on the original look of cows milk, not all milk comes from cows. Today there are five classifications of milk: Whole, 1% or 2%, fat-free, lactose free, and organic. The biggest advancement for milk has been in the lactose-free area where soybeans, coconuts, rice, and other nuts are used to create the white substance (Mattie).

mother’s milk. It a practice that has been passed down from generation to generation since the beginning of our existence. It has proven to be an efficient and healthy way to feed newborns. Several research have shown numerous benefits of breastfeeding. For example, when it comes to the comparison of breast milk and formula milk, studies have shown that formula milk can be harder for babies to digest. This is due to the fact that formula milk is created from cows and babies, stomachs have a hard time digesting and adjusting to it. In addition, the overall quality of formula milk lack the critical nutritions such as antibodies, which breast milk provides to help fight of infections and prevent diseases. As a result, the benefits of
Breastfeeding is a highly debated topic amongst mothers across the world. Every mother has the choice to breastfeed or bottle fed their infant. Although everyone is entitled to their own opinion and choice, it is scientifically proven that breast milk is more beneficial for the infant’s health and development and the mother. Breast milk contains extremely beneficial vitamins and nutrients and also has the ability to change according to the infant’s growth and development. Formula companies try to mock breast milk to the best they can, although it cannot be completely composed the same. “Breastfeeding offers immunological and allergy protection to the infant, is economical and convenient as it is always fresh and the right temperature, and provides a great opportunity for the mother and infant to bond” (p. 1052, Potter & Perry, 2011). Research has proven that breast milk is the most

Milk is a wholesome drink by itself and contains all the vital nutrients required for the body. It is beneficiary for all ages and is considered a 'life-giving nectar'. Milk and other dairy products are the primary source of calcium and are rich in proteins that are essential for the growth and development of every individual.
Breast milk matches a baby’s needs and growth patterns better than any formula substitute. A mother tends to produce just enough milk to fill her baby’s stomach, so she does not need to worry about underfeeding or overfeeding. Furthermore, the milk’s content changes as the ...
For the sake of milk products, the Australian dairy industry discards hundreds of thousands of unwanted week old calves as ‘waste products’ every year. Around 400,000 "bobby" calves are sent to an abattoir for slaughter and a further large (but unknown) number of male calves are killed on farm in their first few days of life. Their plight is a consequence of their reliance and demand on their mother’s milk. Dairy cows are kept pregnant for almost the whole year as that is what produces the milk for human consumption. Bobby cows are born for one reason and that is to keep their mothers producing milk to keep up with the demand of human milk consumption and after the calves have been born, the dairy industry has no use for them. This is not only unjust and inhumane for the calves, it also has a serious effect on the mother cow. The female dairy cow is subjected to a continuous harsh cycle of milking, calving and impregnation. This constant cycle is exhausting work, pushing the dairy cow to her physical limits, taking a seriously negative toll on her body. This relentless, on-going and sustained work, as a result, makes mother cows become defenceless to painful diseases like lameness and mastitis; both diseases having a negative impact on fertility. As a result of dairy cows being susceptible to these diseases, this can lead to an increased proportion of cows being culled as a consequence of not
(Incidentally, Milkman gets his name from the fact that his mother nursed him late into boyhood, from an emotional dependence, which points to the emblematic 'stealing of milk' from which Sethe suffers... and her desire and pride that she is able to keep her milk for her children.)
