Grandpa Bogić spends his whole life in the village of Vrnčani, near Gornji Milanovac. He is engaged in animal husbandry and raised his family by producing milk. In order to get milk, grandfather Bogić prepares wheat, corn, hay and oats on the land he cultivates by himself to feed the cows in the winter. In summer, he takes them to graze in specially fenced meadows. He maintains the stable where they stay all alone. Twice a day he comes to milk the cows and puts the milk in the cooler. In the morning, a tanker arrives to pick up the milk. Grandpa Bogić gets 50 dinars per liter of milk. Even now, in his eighty-fourth year of life, after seventy-five years of work, grandfather Bogić still loves his job. Although sometimes it can be difficult, he is especially happy when his grandchildren and great-grandson take a glass of milk each, and that this hard-earned dinar provides them with everything they need.
