Apparently cows can produce 25 pints a day. Earning even 20p per pint should be an alright wage for a farmer with 10 cows - a lot would have more than 10 cows, and be earning money in other ways too, on top of that, they could sell their land tomorrow and sit on a small fortune.
I've always assumed they were doing alright, I've not researched any of this lol
