I know a man who used to have a buffalo herd for milking. Nobody bought the milk, but nowadays he sells some very nice steaks.

I think I dated a few of those (in my youth , of course).

Of course I forgot pigs are said to be intelligent animals and the sow probably wouldn't let you without putting up a fight. Don't blame her really, LOL!

Apart from anything else the nipples being that close to the ground it might not be very hygenic either.

Bison is new world; the american "buffalo" is a bison. shaggy fur, beards, humps.

Buffalo is old world - lighter coat, no beard, no hump.

I have been following this thread very closely, because it is answering a question that has troubled me all of my life. I'm sure this is a question that many of us have pondered. I'm still somewhat confused about a statement from John MacKenzie about pigeon milk.

Is that the white stuff they leave all over my car?

There is a(n) European Bison; aka "Wisent" - not domesticated.

Joe - pigeon milk is a gruel-ish substance they produce in their crops - basically pre-digested food - they regurgitate it for their chicks.

You also can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear either but someone here will come up with a thoughtful suggestion, I'm sure.
