Medieval Era 2.0 : The Old Cow As I mentioned previously, Bourieva milks an old cow, and the family farm was previously rented to a cow’s farmer. That farmer is a neighbor of the family farm. The rent contract ended at the death of their mother, Therskiova. Anton inherited ownership of the land, however, Anton agree with the farmer to let a cow old enough for slaughter, in his land for a summer. That cow still produces milk but not enough for the extra work required for too little profit, but enough for the twins' needs. At the end of summer, the farmer will recuperate his cow, who has become heavier, for slaughter. The meat from the com will be at a better price at that time of the season. The added benefit for the twins is that the manure of the cow would have fertilized the field. There is no money exchange for that deal.
