Spring butter?

[Guest guest]

I'm preparing to place a large order for butter this week. Since we'll be

freezing a lot of it

for the rest of the year, I want to get butter from cows that have been grazing

on rapidly

growing green grass to ensure good vitamin K2 content.

In " Nutrition and Physical Degeneration " , Price says the highest levels of K2 in

his testing

were found in the Spring & Fall. However, looking at Figure 15 on p. 424 it

seems this is

not the case. In many of the graphs the curve which I assume (I can't read the

print

because it's so small) indicates Activator X (K2) and vitamin A levels are

actually at their

peak in June or July.

In any event, the practical reason I'm interested in this at the moment is that

I'm trying to

decide whether to order butter from Organic Pastures (here in California where I

live) or

from a farm in PA or WI. Out here in California it's closer to summer weather

than it is to

spring; I wonder if the cows are still grazing on " rapidly growing " green

pasture. Whereas

in PA or WI, I'd imagine that it's still closer to spring than summer in terms

of the way the

grass is growing.

It probably wouldn't make a huge difference whether I got it from California or

an eastern

state, but I am curious.

Thanks,

Chris
