Carl,
being an old dairy guy I see amazing similarities to what we used here, 
"udder ease" made by Franklin in those neat little square yellow tins. 
I've probably still got a few old tins around the barn. Yes, it was 
thick as axle grease and smelled great. Wonder if its the same thing as 
you used just under a different label?
