re: I wonder what it was like during the Great Depression

quote:

---

I had a relative live thru it and they said they drank milk unfiltered straight from the cow

My daddy was born after the depression in 1948 and they drank milk straight from the cow everyday. It was his chore bc he milked the cow better than his siblings. He woke up early everyday befor school to milk the cow and he was the youngest son.

for sure - that was my morning task, milking the cows after we moved back to the country farm when I was about 12. Made our own butter from it too.
