Milking A Moose? Palease!
September 18, 2007
Domesticating a moose seems like an oddity here in the U.S. but Russians have been trying to do it for centuries – with little success I might add. They say that moose milk is higher in fat than cows milk – that’s just what we need to inject into our already high fat diets. So, let’s say for a minute that you did want some moose milk. What would you do to get it?
Here’s one method being tried in Russia.
Ekaterina Yegorskaya said: “In May when the female moose give birth we get close to them, then later on, when the baby moose are taken from them, we smell like the baby moose and she then sees me as her child, that’s why she lets me milk her.”
How cuddly!

I’m not real sure I’d want to smell like a moose. I’m guessing moose don’t smell all that pretty. If it’s all the same, I think I’ll stick to cow’s milk.
No way I’m getting that close to a moose unless I’m armed and definitely no way I’m milking one! Geesh.
High milk fat content is more valuable since you can make butter, etc. out of it.
