A Milk Cow Nursing Lambs?

Have you ever heard of a Milk cow nursing bum lambs? Well we had one. Her name was Spring, but my Grandpa called her Chicken Teats (because she had such small teats). It was really hard to milk her because her teats were so small. We thought that maybe she would let the bums suck her. We tried it with one bum first to see what she would do, and she didn't mind a bit! So then we let out four at a time and and let them suck until they were full, then get another group out to do it the same way. Then the bums got the hang of it and would run over to her and knew exactly what they were supposed to do. It worked really well, until she got sore and then she started kicking. So we went back to milking by hand. Oh well, it worked while it lasted! It sure was funny to watch.
