Sheep would be a lot cheaper to keep alright but I'm not sure if the quality of milk would be the same?

Am I the only one who finds the combination of his username and this particular post kind of creepy and sick making?

Any-who, I was thinking of getting a dairy cow and a couple of hens out the back. It seems to just make sense to cut out the milk man, or a shop and the farmer.
The waste can also be put to good use fertilising the garden or can even be sold to fertiliser distributors I believe.

I really can't see a any flaws here. It might even be a good business venture to start selling cows and hens door to door in suburban areas.
Before anyone starts worrying about the dairy farmers, remember that our exports are doing great at the moment and this will allow this area to expand further.

Have I just stepped on to a winner here?
No you've stepped back about 400 years in time

yes men can be milked.... it requires massive doses of female hormones to simulate a nursing mother but it is possible.

noted side effects include:

severe stroppiness
saying one thing but meaning the opposite
saying it's fine when it clearly isn't
inability to choose an outfit to wear in less than 5 mins
a swelling of the breast tissues

I reckon the selling chickens idea might actually work. Sell it as a package, with a few chicks, some feed, a cage or whatever to keep them and a handbook.

I'd say this has already been done.

Buying and owning a single cow is such a bad idea.

That's bullocks, what about all the people growing their own vegetables nowadays. This is just taking it one step further.

OP You will need to have a Herd Number to have a cow.
You will need facilities for testing (TB) such as a crush. Dept of Ag will call to inspect the set up. .

The same applies to having goats, sheep and pigs.
