Totally bizarre request!
This is going to sound pretty bizarre, but I was wondering if any one who milks (most likely commercially) would be willing to sell me some used (needing to be replaced anyway) milking inflations? I'd just like a few to make some tug toys for my dogs and there's no reason to buy new ones when used ones would work great (plus there's that yummy cow smell that can't be replicated). Let me know the price you'd want for the inflations and your time. Of course I'd pay any shipping charges, too.

Gee I wonder if there's a law against shipping inflations with cow like substances on them over state lines? And would they need RFID ear..er teat, tags? 
Great idea Sarah!

Thanks!!! How many would you have? I'd love to play around with a dozen or two if you have that many. If you've got that many or more, I'd say how ever many would fit in the shipping box (what ever method of shipping you want to use). I'll PM you my address if everything is a go and you can PM me yours-I can do whatever type of payment you would prefer then you can send the new "toys".

Marc, if you don't have enough, let me know. We'll be changing inflations soon and besides a couple I intend to give to my Great Dane pup, Bella, I'll be throwing the rest out.

They should be great chew toys. Oldest daughter used a calf nipple (NEW), for teething.
