I have already had a few answers to the following question
sent to me, but if anyone knows of a dairying site on the
web let the list know. I though the list would be
interested in answering and seeing the answers to such a
question.......
So
'Could you give me some ideas as to how to search for
images and info on the earliest evidence of dairying? I
have looked on the web but havn't found any particularly
useful sites.'
Please reply to the list and I will pass on the info.
