Ha ha Vivienne, probably the same guy who was brave enough to be the first person to see a chicken lay an egg and think "that'll be tasty" Lol Christine

In other words how did he or she come to the conclusion that by pulling the udders it would produce milk. Probably watching the calf I suspect. Lin

Well, who discovered that goats gave milk too? I think there are also other animals where we can get milk from. Not to mention human milk!! Sylvia
