Cash cows / low-wage workers
DAY #3 People with their animals / animals with their people
Cows in this elite herd lead a gilded bovine life.
Top, at an auction that drew buyers from all over the country, a handler highlighted the characteristics—breeding, conformation, and prodigious milk production—that set some cows’ worth at tens of thousands of dollars.
Below, at the other end of the enterprise, an undocumented Mexican migrant farm worker, one of about 1,000 in Vermont, milks the prized cows.
Such a powerful juxtaposition of the prized ones and those who are not prized.
