Oh noes, they ran out... now the cows have to produce more :(
Double oh noes, the cows actually understood and slow down the production of milk!
This is a good story to read on the weekend :)

#12> “We tried explaining to our 75 cows that they needed to produce less milk but they don’t seem to have understood,” I don't know why, but this is the funniest thing I've read in a while. I can just imagine the monk explaining COVID to these cows, and just getting a "Moo" in return.
Time to take up GOMAD :-)

#13They’ve sold it all if you were hoping to get some monkcheese.
Hard to get better advertising than an article like this, really.

#14I assume I can’t buy this from the USA because customs rules...?
I don't know, but it's very similar to reblochon, which is probably available.

I'm not going to lie but I imagined the same thing and couldn't stop laughing

Kind of strange, because cows don't just produce milk by nature. Much like humans they have to be impregnated & give birth, after which they produce milk for about ten months. Inquisitive people might wonder how the cow is impregnated in the first place and what happens to the calf.

Maybe don't impregnate them then. Cows don't magically produce milk, they are mammals and lactate because they had babies. They actually forcibly impregnate them and kill their babies if it's a male (veal) and keeps the loop going until the mother can't produce more babies and thus becomes unprofitable. That's funny to you? Sounds like torture and slavery to me.
edit: wow, what a surprise, downvoted to the bottom. I know it's deeply ingrained in our culture to participate in this and that makes it feel safe and normal. Scoffers and deniers, I dare you to go watch Cowspiracy or Dominion and then still stand by this practice.

#18I'm glad they were able to sell it but at the same time like it's raw milk cheese. So importing it into Canada and us is pretty much a non starter.
Hopefully they'll be able to keep up the sales past this article.

I assume they either use a bull or use artificial insemination and the calf gets taken away to be slaughtered and eaten. Do they do it differently in France?

Not sure if this explains everything but we have been selecting species for favorable traits for hundreds of years. That's why you end up with hens laying eggs several times per week too.
