Possibly the lamest cow milking scene I’ve ever seen in a movie. Sam Elliot plays a guy that purports to be a rancher in Wyoming and sits down at the cow just as you might expect of a New York City slicker or in this case, a Hollywood wannabe cattle farmer. The guy sits about 12 inches too far away from the cow and strips the teats just the way our local pastor did whilst trying unsuccessfully to impress my father when he came by to invite us all to church, that is to say, very ineffectually. Like they were made of glass and as if he was afraid the cow was going to bite him with her bag. Don’t they have bag wranglers for these eventualities? They would have been better off not to have had the scene at all. Why pretend to be a real farmer if you can’t be bothered to learn how it’s done?
