0003446: Milking a caged creature is not possible, the creature gets kidnapped by another dwarf.
The creature is going to be dragged to the farmer's workshop. On the way another dwarf appears and just takes it away from the milker and tries to drag it back to the cage. The milker in return runs after them to reaquire the creature. So does the kidnapper, and so on.
Build an milkable creature cage a few tiles (10-20 or more) away from the farmer's workshop.
Have some idle dwarfes hanging around in between.
Order milking.
Enjoy dwarfen tug-of-war.
Building the cage and shop close distant, the milker can reach the shop fast enough and fulfill his job.
No tags attached.
