"Oh," she says. She's obviously a bit disappointed, but she doesn't so much pout as she does frown a bit. "That sounds like an awful lot of work just for milk," she reasons. "I'm not afraid of work, though," she adds. "But I don't know any farmers for a bull, and I don't think we have enough room for two cows."

She doesn't add that she wouldn't want to see any calves go to the butcher. She knows that's where meat comes from, but it probably would be hard to watch a baby cow born and grow up, just to send it off like that. And if they don't have enough room for two cows, then they definitely don't have enough room for two cows and however many babies cows have.
