Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 If you'd gone a bit further into the article you might have found your way, as I did, to the pus count in milk listed by state. http://www.notmilk.com/lawbreakers.html Ick. When we first moved to Vermont I was very excited to be living next door to a holstein dairy. Got the wife to give me a jar of milk out of the bulk tank. It wasn't my first raw milk, so I knew just by looking that something was wrong.....very little little cream. Just three days later that milk in my fridge grew mold on the surface. Freaked me out.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 I can't even stand the taste of " grocery " store milk any more. Would love to find an organic farmer who would sneak me a quart or two out of one of his good cows. But if we got caught we'd probably both go to jail as it is illegal to sell or give away raw milk in Michigan. Ten years ago, even, I'd probably have bought a cow or a couple of little dairy goats. But now, nicely past retirement age, I just don't want to be tied down to all of that.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 I am spoiled! We get milk from a WAP/grass-fed farm. But the girls are dried up now, have been for the last couple of weeks. So we are milk-less. DH went to the store and bought a jug of rBst free milk but I was unable to drink any of it. Just the thought of pasturized homogenized.....nope, can't drink it. Last spring I was on the verge of getting a cow to milk, but got talked out of it, thankfully. Even with a cow, she'd be dry now anyway and we'd have no milk. I've been thinking about goats. Already have some sheep. They might be pregnant. Betcha I'm going to give sheeps milk a try! I am sorry for your plight there in Michigan. It isn't right not giving people the choice.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Choice? What's choice? If we had choice we might exercise it to not buy the stuff in the grocery. Then the dairy industry could cry like the bread and orange juice industries are crying. " Unfair! Unfair! Low carb lifestyles are unfair! " Beautiful sound, isn't it, their cash cow drying up?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hi Kris, Thanks for the info but we are in the opposite southern corner of the state. I think there are a couple of cow-share programs within 50-60 miles of here. I plan to look into it more as soon as the weather gets warmer.
