Responsa for Shabbat 308:13
לא דכפייה לאילן ואנח סיכוך עילויה דקמשמש באילן א"ה אימא סיפא שלש בידי אדם ואחת באילן כשרה ועולין לה ביו"ט ואי דכפייה לאילן אמאי עולין לה ביו"ט
one places his head under it and moves it to the other side, so that it falls off automatically. R. Gamaliel's ass was laden with honey, but he would not unload it until the termination of the Sabbath. On the termination of the Sabbath it died. But we learnt: HE REMOVES THE OBJECTS WHICH MAY BE HANDLED?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which includes honey. ');"><sup>11</sup></span>

Q. Is a Jew permitted to milk a cow on the Sabbath?
A. No, but because of the danger to the cow in not being milked, one is permitted to tell a Gentile to milk it and keep the milk for himself.
