I just had one of my dwarves...

Milk a cow.

Now I've got 1 unit in my stocks! There's been some kind of scientific breakthrough in the latest version, and it's amazing.

What... it works now? Actual cow milking? The cows are regular non-vermin creatures and the milk is real cheeseable cow's milk? I'm seriously impressed now...

[Danjen]

Cow... milk? Cheese? Does that mean you can make like camel and goat cheest too? You can do so much with animals now... bones, leather, food, milk, soap...

Just tried it too - farmer's workshop now has milk creature job. Upon using it, farmer went and grabbed horse for milking.

[Firnagzen]

grabbed horse for milking.

Wat.

[Urist McDepravity]

Wat.

Dont ask. Obviously they produce the substance, from which 'horse cheese' comes.

[Osmosis Jones]

grabbed horse for milking.

Wat.

The farmer (who was no doubt a milker, as in a dwarf with the milking labour enabled), went to a horse (as in walked to the horse, which itself is a four legged mammal bred for transport and burden) took hold of it and started milking it (as in extracting the calcium rich liquid extract from the mammary glands of said horse). 

Seriously though, milking horses is hardly unheard of. The mongols did it, and they were able to conquer most of asia.

Atleast they milked a horse instead of a bull.

Looks like those cheese maker have finally earned their way out of redshirt squad now it seems...another great source for food with all that complication with farming now!!!
just imagine....
This is a stack of 20 Cow cheese roast. The ingredients are minced Cow cheese, minced Cow cheese, minced Cow cheese and finely minced Cow cheese.
*salivates*
EDIT: typoes
EDIT2: Why not try to determine that how often creatures can be milked...I'm smelling a possible exploit here...

[MetalSlimeHunt]

So, does this mean... all those items with images of cheese ingraved on them will make sense after all this time?

[Safe-Keeper]

In the film adaptation of Ronja Robber's Daughter, there's a scene where Ronja milks a horse.

Atleast they milked a horse instead of a bull.

It seems to me like once a month the milk regenerates, and giving birth doesn't lead to increased milk output, unfortunately. If the output was more than 1 milk I could have a nice cheese roast industry.

For me it seems that it is once a season.
Also I have produced cow cheese[2] somewhat, I am sure it didn't came from merchants. Either the cow produced stack of 2 milk, or milker stacked the milk from 2 cows into one stack, or cheese maker stacked the cheese.
