50- OK...WHAT IS IT? II....

Moo juice? It's sweet milk...a term that my grandmother used on her farm...meant milk straight from a cow, not 'messed' with...wasn't actually 'sweet'. Years ago, farm folk often liked buttermilk (a bit sour) and sour cream and clabber. What we drink today has been pasturized. Remember once, visiting on her farm in Rockingham Couny in the Valley, when her cows ate some wild onions...down in her old farmhouse cellar, as she strained the warm, frothy milk, I tasted a cup straight from the cows, with a bit of oniony flavor...ugh! And would also watch her milk, by hand, up in the ancient barn stalls. Every once in a spell, she would aim the teat towards one of the barn kittens, aim and squirt! The kitten would jump and then eagerly lap away to clean its fur. Was funny to see a handful of them lapping away in the stall, and then wait for another squirt!
OK, does chocolate milk come from brown cows?
