However, imagine doing it! You shuffle the piglets off to one side, where they squeal like the devil because they're not with their mum. Then you milk each of 12 teats without the sow knocking over your bucket, putting her foot in it -- or taking off your arm because you've taken her darlings away.... (I wonder if there's a 12-cluster machine on Ebay somewhere?)
You'd not get much out either, as pigs are more like humans than cows, and do not store up their milk much. So a couple of hours later, out with the piggies and in with the bucket again.
You need at least 10 litres or so on one day to make decent cheese, so you need quite a few cooperative sows. Then I guess it'd taste of pork. Hmmm. Not sure about that. I wonder if it's ever been done?
I have milked a mare though -- that tasted of oats, though strangely the horse had not had oats to eat.
