Well for CDS based economics

You have no cows, you insure the existence of other peoples cows for a
period of 7 years receiving 10 gallons of milk per cow insured per
year. You sell  the milk.

What? We have statistical models that prove within 6 standard
deviations that cows don't die in under 7 years .. this is free milk..
