What do they get as the other 35%?

I talked to these people at a grassfed convention here in Minnesota. They do

feed some corn but not much and NO soy. I will also vouch for there cheese and

butter. Both are a rich golden color and the tastes are out of this world.

Just wish they were raw.

If I remember correctly from the farm-tour it was a seasonally and

individually dependent blend of corn sileage, hayledge, corn and minerals.

I know they were very concerned about the calcium content of their soil and

were investigating ways to increase that to lower dependence on other

feedstuffs. They were also participating in some pilot projects with some

environmental soil and water scientist from the Univ of Minnesota.

Much more important than the ratio of grass, I believe, is the quality of

the grass itself. We have a fairly steady growing season that allows them

to get growing green grass from mid-spring through October. It's evident in

the color and flavor of the butter. I have never seen anything more yellow

or taste more rich.

If you want more specifics about the ration that they use (whether there's

any soy or anything else less than optimal) you'll probably need to contact

Dan or Muriel French directly. Another benefit by the way, is that I think

they have a mixed herd that they're slowly transitioning to more pasture

friendly breeds like jerseys and swiss.

All,

There are several other sources of grassfed and / or raw butter listed in

the back of the quarterly Wise Traditions, from the Weston A. Price

Foundation.

Some of these are out of butter for the season (until April?), but I know

of at least one which still has butter to ship.

Do folks want me to list these sources (although I highly recommend having

your own " Wise Traditions " !)?

I should be getting my first Wise Traditions whenever the next issue comes

out, until then, I for one would be interested in those

sources...particularly for raw butter. I wonder if they can legally ship to

Minnesota though. It would be kind of strange if they can, since it's

illegal to sell it in MN.

Hmmm, if this keeps growing in popularity, will there be no-knock police

dairy raids...will the BATF change it's name to BATFD (Bureau of Alcohol,

Tobacco, Firearms and Dairy. It should be funny, but it really isn't...

Marcella,

Take a look at this list's message number 3817, the list of butter sources

is there.

(I hope I didn't bother anyone by sharing the list of butter providers...)

Best wishes to all!
