Tenderfeet Teach Old Sheep to Milk Ewes for Cheese
Italians from Treasure State Farm and Livestock train veteran sheepherders to milk ewes for cheese, creating a new middle west industry. About 600 ewes milked twice daily near Shriver in Carbon county yield around 100 pounds of cheese per day, with market price about $1 per pound in Chicago. The technique uses gentler udders handling and stanchions, contrasting cow milking methods.
