Herd animals are almost always standing shoulder to shoulder in their own shit. It's what happens when you prefer to live in a tight group and eat together and also shit while you eat where you eat. I actually run a pasture based dairy and even though I have about a half acre if grass available per head they still prefer to all group with each other inside of less than an acre of pasture and literally shit on each other or lay in their shit. It's hilarious when a short little Jersey comes up to with shit on her back from a taller Holstein.

Yeah it is really not that hard just follow a recipe like any other cooking. If you wanna make an aged cheese just make sure you have a 50-60°F spot to keep it for a couple months. Preferably on a wood board, and turn it once in a while. Aged cheese recipes have roughly an 80% gallon to pound yield ratio so a couple of gallons of un homogenized raw milk should yield about a pound and a half of cheese. Bloomy rind and washed rind cheeses are about the same. I don't recommend washed rind for the home cheese maker. That's a lot of funk for where you sleep. Mozzarella, ricotta, cottage cheese, and yogurts offer instant gratification and are a good place to start.
