Pilale milks her cow while its young one waits to suckle on October 9, 2023. She starts her day by milking the cows and making tea for the whole family. Our family is quite large, with several different households, each belonging to one of her sons, including the grandchildren. Having a milking cow in a Maa homestead is considered prestigious. Typically, a homestead would have more than one cow producing milk. However, due to prevailing drought conditions, it's been tough to keep more than one healthy milk-producing cow.
