It's only unfair if the owner feeds the cow then a "stranger" milks it,
But if it's the "stranger" who does the feeding it's only fair he gets a share of the milk. consider the following scenarios: 1. You buy a cow, be feeding it with all the sweet hay, dairy meal and bran including napier grass and a stranger does the milking! 2. You buy a cow, a stranger feeds it, and you do the milking. 3. You buy a cow, a stranger feeds it and he/she milks it. Which one is favourable???? It depends on who the cow like most, that is the one who will be feed with both milk and sweetness! The cow will only like the person who is feeding it. It does not matter who bought or is milking it!!  I would prefer a situation whereby I buy the cow and I only do the milking when someone else does the feeding.  The only trouble with this arrangement is when the feeder refuses with the feed, the cow run away from me na ikatalie kwa feeder. Let's get the facts straight. 1) If you buy a cow you're responsible for feeding it and in return you have a right to be the one milking; it doesn't necessaryly me you are the only one to milk it, but you hope. 2) If you're feeding the cow with poor quality grass and a stranger happen to have some niaper and drums of molasse, the stranger might be able to milk it by enticing it. 3)If you don't feed it right, someone else will step in a feed it and that person will have the right to the milk, the only right you have will be by virtue of it coming back to your boma. 4) If the cow like to be milk by anyone/ everyone, there isn't anything you can do because it will be milk no matter how well fed you feed it. 5) If a stranger is good enough to pet it until he can scratch under the tail he might milk it You see sometimes the cows behave in a very peculiar way. You give them soft succulent grass and they will always see the pasture over the other side of the fence as the better one. That partly explains why they end up in the bush being seriously milked. A cow once in the pasture never realises how important the owner is until it fractures one of its legs.
